Das, Sarat Chandra (edited By WW. Rockhill; Frontispiece Photo of Author, 2 Large Folding Maps, 4 Folding Color Plans [Illustrat
Journey to Lhasa and Central Tibet
John Murray 1/1/1902. Stated 2nd Edition revised. Hardcover. Good. Bound in publisher's green cloth. Gilt lettered and stamp of the Royal Geographical Society on front cover. Library stamps and markings. 285 pages. 34 illustrations and maps 6 of which are folding. Large color map of Tibet at rear. Many of the plates are stamped with library stamps on blank side. <br> Sarat Chandra Das 1849-1917 was a Bengali scholar of Tibet. Das has been described as "a traveler explorer.linguist a lexicographer an ethnographer and an eminent Tibetologist." Das was also a British spy. Born in Chittagong Das trained as an engineer in Calcutta. He became headmaster of the Bhutia Boarding School in Darjeeling. Bhutia was a school for Sikkimese and Tibetan boys many of who would be trained to fill a special place in the British colonial regime the role of a Pundit. Das became a "pundit" and an instructor at the school for British intelligence. Pundits acted as a network of British-trained operatives who were tasked to make inroads in the foreboding inner regions of Asia where white embassies could not gain entry. Tibet and other inland areas were increasingly gaining attention from competing British Russian and Chinese economic and strategic interests. Derek Waller speculates that the character of Huree Chunder Mookerjee in Kipling's Kim was based on Das p.193. As a teacher Das learned Tibetan to speak with his students. He read the limited books on the region available notably of Bogle 1773-5 and Manning's travels 1811 to Tibet. Manning and Bogle were the last successful British explorations of Tibet a nation who steadfastly resisted western intrusion. Das's language ability secured him entry with his colleague Lama Ugyen Gyasto to Tashilhunpo monastery in 1879 as the Prime Minister wished to learn Hindi from him. In 1881 Das returned to Tashilhunpo and made his way to Lhasa Sakya and the Tsangpo River. There he met with Thupten Gyatso the 13th Dalai Lama d. 1933 and returned to Darjeeling with a Yak loaded with over 200 Tibetan manuscripts. After Das was revealed to be a British agent Tibetan authorities increased restrictions on travelers and the Minister who had sponsored his entry was put to death. What makes Das's expedition so interesting is that he successfully brought back a wealth of information on an unknown land to the larger world. The Tibet that Das glimpsed is now gone with the passage of history and the destructive forces of modernity and Chinese domination. This book compiles the story of Das's journey his reports photographs diagrams ethnographic observations etc of a lost Tibet. Das went on to become an important Tibetan scholar and author an extensive multi-volume dictionary. The British would not successfully return to Tibet until 1903-4 with Colonel Francis Edward Younghusband's exhibition invasion and massacre of ~5000 Tibetans. Significantly Younghusband was the President of the Royal Geographical Society which notably published the 1902 edition of Das's book. An interesting and dark connection to Das's legacy.

This edition is bound in vibrant orange cloth with striking bold black lettering on the cover.The book is in VG- Very Good Minus condition and does not come with a dust jacket.

These characteristics add a touch of character to this vintage edition.The binding remains square though there's a slight gap at the head of the spine.

DE FER Nicolas (1646-1720 circa)
Mappe-Monde, ou Carte Generale De La Terre, Divisee En Deux Hemispheres…
Bell'esemplare della mappa murale del mondo di De Fer, pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1700. Il testo rileva che la mappa è una riduzione della mappa murale in quattro fogli del mondo dello stesso autore, pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1695. De Fer afferma che questa mappa è la prima a tenere conto delle osservazioni astronomiche della Royal Academy of Sciences. Sembrerebbe, infatti, che l'autore abbia consultato diverse fonti per meglio realizzare California, Giappone e Australia.L'Australia è mostrata come incompleta e ancora attaccata alla nuova Guinea. La Nuova Zelanda viene realizzata solo a grandi linee. Il fiume Mississippi ha la sua confluenza con il Golfo del Messico considerevolmente più ad ovest rispetto al suo vero corso. Sono inseriti molti altri nomi di luoghi e il commento scientifico è notevolmente dettagliato.Incisa da Johannes Van Loon, la mappa include vignette che mostrano tuoni, fulmini, tempeste e maree, vulcani, ecc. Le osservazioni celesti sono mostrate nella parte superiore. Acquaforte, bella coloritura coeva, in buono stato di conservazione. Rara. Nice example of De Fer's wall map of the world, first published in 1700. The text notes that the map is a reduction of De Fer's 4 sheet wall map of the world, first issued in 1695. De Fer states that this map is the first map to be prepared based upon the astronomical observations of the Royal Academy of Sciences. In fact, it would appear that different sources entirely have been consulted for California, Japan and Australia.Australia is shown as substantially incomplete and still attached to new Guinea. New Zealand appears in partial outline. The conjectural land bridge from Asia to America is still in evidence. The Mississippi River has its confluence with the Gulf of Mexico considerably west of its true course, based upon La Salle's eroneous reports. There are many more place names on this 2 sheet edition of the wall map. The scientific comentary is quite remarkable and detailed.Engraved by Van Loon, the map includes vignettes show thunder, lightening, tempests and tides, volcanoes, etc. Celestial observations are shown at the top. Etching with fine original colour, good condition. Rare. Shirley, The Mapping of the World, n. 600.
