London : Paul Jerrard and Son, 1860 A good copy of the 2 volume work in one, with original decorative cloth binding and 62 hand coloured plates. All page edges gilt. Undated but 1860 1st edition. The binding has beveled edges and has a bright gilt decorated front board and back board with blind stamped design. It has been rebacked to provide a new plain spine, which has a leather title label. There is some wear to corners but the binding is tight and sound. Internally the endpapers are new. Contents: frontispiece; title page to Vol I; preface; introduction; text pp 1-76 with 29 further colour plates; half title Vol II; text pp 77-196 with 32 colour plates; methods of preserving specimens pp 197-200; index 201-206. Plates are generally very bright and clean, but without tissue guards. Text pages have sporadic foxing and there has been damage to some page edges - presumably the book was disbound at some point. Title page to Vol I has repair to side edge and gutter and the frontispiece has gutter repair. Page 1 and 75 have some margin loss. Some pages have browning to the top edge.

Jacket clean and bright. Laid-in tri-fold pamphlet from the Owens Foundation for Wildlife Conservation. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. xxvi + 230 pages. Crossing stick bridges over swollen rivers and battling swarms of tsetse flies, Mark and Delia Owens found their way into one of the most startlingly beautiful, wild places on earth, the northern Luangwa Valley in Zambia. As they were setting up camp to launch their lion research, gunfire echoed off the cliffs nearby. Gangs of ivory poachers were not only shooting the elephants but also virtually enslaving local villagers. Against unimaginable odds, Mark and Delia stopped the poaching by helping the villagers find other work, start small businesses, and improve their health care and education.

Departing Le Havre in 1800, Baudin's expedition comprised two ships--the Naturaliste and the Géographe--and 238 men, including 22 scientists.
