Description

Wien, F. Tempsky, 1895. Large 4to (30.0 x 23.5 cm). 76 pp.; 16 text engravings, seven plates including three in heliogravure, mounted and with printed overlays, and two large folded views. Contemporary half cloth with front wrapper mounted. = Rather rare work by the famous Austrian geologist and palaeontologist Carl Diener 1862-1928) on the geological and geographical results of an expedition sponsored by the Vienna academy of sciences and the British Indian gouvernment to the central Himalayas near the India-Tibet border. Starting point of the expedition was Munsiyari, and the survey included the Milam glacier. The use of tipped-in original photos is somewhat unusual. This is an offprint, with new pagination, of the academy's Denkschriften. Provenance: inscribed by the Austrian geologist Alexonder Tollmann on the front board, below and older, illegible signature (Mölbl?). The large, coloured map is detached, otherwise a very good copy. Not in Ward and Carozzi.
