What Our Customers Say...

Description

Early Edition, Folding Maps, Illustrated

A fascinating first hand account of explorer and magistrate Captain Arthur Whitmore Monckton of his time in New Guinea. Monckton was an official member of executive and legislative councils, resident magistrate and warden for Goldfields, High Sheriff and High Bailiff, and Senior Officer of Armed Constabulary in New Guinea.

The second edition of this work, published the same year as the first. 

Illustrated with thirty-seven plates and a folding map, collated and complete.

Condition

In full blue cloth binding. Externally, very smart, with just a touch of shelf wear and bumping to the extremities. A previous owner's small sticker to the front free-endpaper. Internally, front hinge is starting, remaining binding is firm. Pages are bright and clean.

Very Good
