    Description

    First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    The first edition of Winston Churchill's first hand account of his travels around British controlled East Africa in the autumn of 1907. In the bright publisher's original pictorial cloth binding.

    Illustrated with three plates of maps and sixty-one photographic illustrations on forty-seven plates. Collated, complete.

    In early November of 1907, Churchill killed a rhinoceros, the basis of the striking illustration on the front cover of the first edition.

    A smart copy of Churchill's travelogue on Britain's possessions in East Africa, written while he was serving as Undersecretary of State for the Colonies. This works is notable for being the only one of his many publications to contain photographs ostensibly taken by the author.
