The author travelled throughout Granada (now Columbia and Panama) from 1852-1854, and is the best travel work on the area from that time, covering all aspects of life, description of the country, peoples, customs, nature, geography, etc. Smith H120: 'The author, a botany professor, made a trip to northern South America to fill in geographical and botanical data about the area in the mid-nineteenth century. It is a long and comprehensive book with most emphasis on what he saw, rather than on botany.' Griffin 5134: 'An abbreviated second edition (1967) cut the text to less than half its length and omits the 11 appendices. For scholarly use the original edition is essential.' Sabin 32661. Welch 82.

West from Montevideo - Uruguay By Bike
London: Cassell 1989. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped.240 pages. 25 coloured photographs. 1 map. 'I need an adventure' said Patricia. Few statements have inspired a journey more individual than the cycling trip through Uruguay undertaken by the author and his wife. The wild frontiers of Uruguay provided not just the route for their ambitious long-distance ride but also the framework for this minutely-observed account. Carrying a tent and a few bare essentials they pedalled West from Montevideo on a journey that would last nine weeks and take them more than 2000 kilometres through the Uruguayan countryside. One of the smallest countries in South America Uruguay is almost the size of mainland Britain with a population of only 3 million less than half that of London. A society of dramatic contrasts its inhabitants are very rich or very poor mainly pastoral it is a land of prairies and vast herds of cattle of wide open spaces and seemingly infinite distances but it is the people the travellers meet who make this account so memorable. Soft-spoken gauchos with razor-sharp knives; cattle thieves fishermen and wealthy farmers of sprawling estates; country sheriffs smugglers and political prisoners all come vibrantly to life. A1B. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Cassell Hardcover

HOMANN JOHANN BAPTIST.
Nova Territori Erfordien in Suas Prefecturas.
Nuremberg.: Johann Baptist Homann. 1717. A beautifully engraved hand coloured map of North East Germany showing the area around Erfurt in detail. In the centre of the map is a small plan of Erfurt which is also shown as a panoramic view at the foot of the map and titled 'St. Petersburg'. An elaborate decorative title cartouche in the lower right corner depicts allegorical figures surrounded by the produce of the land including sheaves of wheat; a beehive; and a cornucopia of fruits. Cherubs holding a coat of arms float up from the scene on the right while on the lower left a centaur sits meditatively beneath a pine tree amongst slaughtered cattle. Physical features of the area are illustrated and farming areas shown by fields which criss-cross across the map. A clear dark impression the work of an outstanding German cartographer who in 1715 was appointed as imperial geographer by Emperor Charles VI. This map also includes "Schwan See" Swan Lake under a town of the same name which has since disappeared. Hand coloured two very minor splits at upper and lower edges on centre fold and not affecting engraved area a handsome map 54 x 61.5 cm. . [Johann Baptist Homann.] unknown
