Description

DJ browned and with light chipping. The slightest of toning to the endpapers. A very handsome copy with tight binding. ; With Notes on the Natural History by Rubert Vallentin. From the dustjacket: "The first full account of this remote colony. Part I deals with the history of the Islands from the time when they first appeared uncenrtainly to the early voyagers until 1914, when the Battle of the Falkland Islands brought a sudden recognition of their importance to the Empire. Part II gives an up-to-date account of the Industries - whaling, sealing, sheep and cattle farming; Part III deals with the natural features; Part IV with the Flora and Fauna, which have a special interest because Stanley Harbour is in a latitude roughly corrensponding with that of Cornwall. With folding map, plans, and thirty-one illustrations." Extremely rare, especially in this condition and with DJ. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; ix, 414 pages
