Description:
NY: Harper & Brothers, 1861. Reprint American edition. small 8vo, pp. Light water stain, some very light foxing, some of the cloth on the covers worn off, a good tight copy. This edition was issued without the illustrations and map. "Keppel, a British naval officer who had served in the Opium War, participated in the campaign against the Borneo pirates in 1843-44. During the execution of his orders to protect trade and suppress piracy in the Malacca Straits, he met James Brooke who had received the title of rajah of Sarawak, in perpetuity, from the Sultan of Brunei. The first volume concerns itself with Brooke's exploits in Sarawak from 1838-42, prior to his meeting with Keppel. Brooke attempted to open Borneo for foreign trade and tried to pacify the tribes. As a reward for success in the latter endeavor, he was given his title in 1841. Volume two recounts the military exploits of Brooke, Keppel, and Sir Edward Belcher, who occasionally came to Keppel's aid, gives a geographical overview of Borneo,…

Paris, 1780. Map. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 9" x 12 3/4"<br/> <br/> This map of the East Indies, published in Bonne's 1780 atlas, extends from the Malay Peninsula to the northern coast of Australia, the map shows the islands of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes, Timor, Mindanao, Maluku, and many islets. Pictorial mountains depict the mountainous terrain of the volcanic islands. An inset in the lower left corner depicts the Maluku islands in greater detail. The map is in excellent condition. Center fold as issued. <br> <Br> Rigobert Bonne (1727-1795) was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century. He served as Hydrographer to France, and during his term, he produced a number of detailed and useful maps, particularly of coastal regions. His work is often devoid of decorative cartouches and compasses roses and marks a turn in European map-making away from decoration toward technical mapping.<br/> <br/>

Description:
London.: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans., 1855. First edition, Two volumes, pp.xii, 451, viii, 423, 24 (adverts). A good set in original green cloth, boards blind decorated. Lightly rubbed, corners bumped, spines bumped and faded. The head and foot of the spine of volume one has a few superficial tears to cloth, and rear inner hinge starting to separate. Previous owner's inscriptions to front end-papers. Ida Laura Pfeiffer (1797 1858) was arguably the first full-time woman traveller: an adventurous Austrian, she dedicated the second half of her life entirely to travelling around the world, and published five works describing her journeys. This was her penultimate work and the last she would live to see, her final work being published posthumously in 1861. She was a budding amateur ethnographer and natural scientist, frequently sending samples back to European museums and discovered several new species. She would likely have become academically renowned had her membership to the Royal…

Philadelphia : J.B. Lippincott, 1902. First edition, pp.xi, 197, complete with 88 fine Heliotype plates each with a descriptive tissue guard. One of only 500 copies issued. A very good copy in the original gilt-decorated cloth, top edge gilt. Stitching weak as usual due to the excessive weight of plates bound in. Very slight rubbing to extremities, light bumping to corners and spine, single crease to spine. Internally clean and unblemished. William Henry Furness III (1866-1920), an American physician, was one of the first Westerners to encounter the Kayan people of Borneo and the Wa'ab people of Yap. This work is the product of four expeditions Furness made between 1895 and 1901 accompanied by two like-minded physicians: Hiram M. Hiller, Jr. and Alfred C. Harrison, Jr. While their expeditions were primarily ethnographic, they also collected a considerable amount of biological and archaeological artefacts that became one of the founding collections of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of…
