Theal's major ethnographical book, and the only one from which history is excluded.
DESCRIPTION. New maroon skivertex-boards with original spine cover laid down, new plain green endpapers and scarlet head- and tail-bands, tissue-guarded frontispiece from a painting by Burchell, xiv/397 pp of text and index + 2 pp publisher's announcement + 15 inserted plates on art-paper not listed in the prelims and with additional woodcut drawings in the text.
CONDITION. The binding is now fine and attractive. Except for pp 31/32 (apparently missing, but the binding appears undisturbed), the copy is complete, including the plates.

This is now an attractive copy.
