About 10 library stamps to each volume, one map with small closed tear, light foxing. This is a remarkable copy: Front endpapers contain an article in the Daily Reporter concerning the death of Sir Barttelot 10-2-1893 (father of one of the members of the expedition) and a extensive review in the Times of 28-6-1890, the publishing day of the book.
In darkest Africa recounts the story of Stanley’s final major expedition through Africa, an undertaking that lasted three years. The newspaperman turned explorer set off in 1887 with the purpose of furthering plans to create a British protectorate in east equatorial Africa and of repeating his earlier feat of rescuing Livingstone by effecting the escape of the German physician Emin Pasha, who had been governing south Sudan for the British and had been isolated by the Mahdist uprising. Stanley took the long way in, starting from the west coast and moving up the Congo.
