A picture of this book is available upon request by email. A narrative and intelligent description by a Scot who travelled extensively in the area, including politics, towns and cities, agriculture, natural history, indigenous peoples, business opportunities, geology, volcanoes, etc. This contains the first map of the Republic of Central America and one of the few ever published since the republic broke up shortly after into the separate nations that exist today. Sabin 21317. Parker, Travels in Central America. Markman 49: 'General description of Central America at mid-nineteenth century. Also has a description of Antigua, Guatemala and Guatemalan houses'. Welch 61. Spain & Spanish America 223. Humphreys 1707. The author's name has been spelled Dunlap in one reference. Grieb GU391: 'More than just a travelogue or journal, it includes historical accounts drawn from the existing literature. . . his accounts of contemporary political maneuvers and revolts are valuable to the historian of this era'.

DUNN, Henry
Guatimala [Guatemala], or, the Republic of Central America in 1827-8; being Sketches and Memorandums Made During a Twelve-Months' Residence
8vo [22 x 14.5 cm]; xviii, [vi], 328 pp, double-page map from original edition, annotated bibliography and new foreword by James C. Andrews. original cloth, very fine and clean copy, unmarked, as new. A picture of this book is available upon request by email. Welch 119. Humphreys 917. Griffin 3558: 'perceptive observations on all aspects of Guatemalan life during his extensive travels in the country.' This is the second account in English of Guatemala to have been published, the first being by Gage in 1648, and as such make this a valuable contribution to the early description of the area. Because the 1829 edition has additional material and the map, not present in the 1828 first edition, it is the most desirable. Apparently no reprint has appeared in English since 1829. See also Palau 77296; Sabin 21320. Grieb GU392: 'One of the classic travelogues. . . his account emphasizes travel difficulties, poor conditions and the remoteness of the region but also provides a description of life in Guatemala City at the time and its relative isolation due to the lack of transportation facilities. The account is highly descriptive of terrain and includes account of the Indians and other peole he met'.

Dunsterville, F
"DELHI: PALACE IN THE FORT CARVED TRACERY SCREEN IN THE KHAS MAHAL" GLASS STEREOVIEW
Madras India: F. Dunsterville 1890. Elias Frederick Evans Dunsterville probably 1847-1908 exhibited for the Royal Photographic Society in 1896 and became a fellow in 1898. He worked for the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railways in India from 1878 until 1902. During that time he travelled extensively throughout India taking many superb photographs. Provenance: from the collection of Robert N. Dennis who was one of the most important stereoview collectors in the United States. The New York Public Library's "Robert N. Dennis Collection" includes more than 70000 stereoviews from his collection many of which can be viewed on the library's website. Please note that my scanner does not do well with glass stereoviews. All of the glass views I have listed have superb images; when observed through a stereoscope the stereoview has an excellent 3-dimensional effect. Early Printing. Glass. Collectible-Fine-. 3 1/4" by 6 3/4". Photo. F. Dunsterville
