Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Leahy's early primary resource, which pre-dates his highly acclaimed book! A riveting first-hand account of New Guinea exploration by the first Europeans to enter into the highlands, in searching for gold, which led to one of the major discoveries of the twentieth century - over a million primitive people living in the stone age. The last great adventure of New Guinea exploration, together with important first contact photographs. The interior of New Guinea hadlong been thought to be a mass of impenetrable mountain ranges and deep valleys, which maps of that time had labelled "probably uninhabited", but Michael Leahy, and his party, the first whitemen ever to effect entry into the heart of New Guinea, found densely populated long wide valleys, inhabited with flesh eating cannibals, and fertile plateaus. Leahy was subsequently honoured by the Royal Geographical Society in recognition of his discoveries in New Guinea. This is a set of two remarkable reports detailing a foremost discovery expedition to New Guinea, vividly illustrated with photographic plates including fold-out panoramas, and also accompanied by a spectacular colour route map. Includes a report titled "The Wahgi River Valley of Central New Guinea," by K. L. Spinks, which covers colonization history, accessibility of the main plateau, tectonic features, mountain names, and notes elucidating the color map. Leahy's Title is Recognized as "THE CLASSIC" of New Guinea Exploration Literature - "Land That Time Forgot, Adventures and Discoveries in New Guinea", first published in 1937.
