Description

's-Gravenhage, H. L. Smits, 1887. Large 8vo (25.1 x 15.5 cm). xv, 549 pp.; two photographs depicting a huge fish and Recent and fossil bivalves, one folded table. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards. = Important monograph, mainly on the earth sciences of the Indonesian island of Blitong [= Billiton] where the very successful Billiton Mining Company was founded. Including the rare geological atlas with the maps. De Groot was chief of the "Mijnwezen in Nederlandsch Indië". With the stamp of the Billiton company library, and the hand-written dedication, most probably by the author, to [my friend] K. O. Uhlenbeck van Gauderiere, i.e., the chief administrator of the company, Karel Olke Uhlenbeck (1864-1929). Lacks the atlas. Front board detached, spine cover missing. An interesting copy, but not in a great state.
