Inscribed by the translator, Henry William Dulcken (1832-1894), to a member of the Negreponte family dated 1891. A fine copy.

'A German counterpart to Stanley's In Darkest Africa, this represents Peter's journey to find Emin Pasha on the Upper Nile, but approaching from Africa's east coast... This work is wonderfully illustrated, particularly regarding the battles waged between the expedition and hostile tribes' (Czech). Peters followed Pigott in exploring the Tana River and gained notoriety by his political activities to secure influence in the interior. This roused the British, in an effort to counteract his activities, to explore both Kenya Colony and Uganda.

First English edition; royal 8vo (25.5 x 18 cm); presentation inscription to front endpaper, frontispiece and 32 full-page plates, illustrations in text, large coloured map in pocket at end; publisher's original gilt pictorial cloth, fore edge uncut, a fine copy; xviii, 597 pp.
