Aggiungi al carrelloAntoinette (Tony) Powell-Cotton was the daughter of Major Percy Horace Gordon Powell-Cotton (1866-1940), explorer, naturalist, founder in 1896 of the Quex Museum (the Powell-Cotton collection), at Birchington, Kent. 3pp., 12mo. Fair, on lightly-aged paper, with a couple of minor damp stains to the first leaf of two. She writes t…hat her family have just spoken to Professor Herskovits [the American anthropologist Melville Jean Herskovits (1895-1963)], 'and he gave us a message that you would like to see our specimens from Angola'. Her family would be 'pleased to show them and feel sure we would glean a great deal of interesting information' from Driberg, but they are afraid Herskovits 'misunderstood us': 'We said we hoped to meet you one day at a lecture or something like that', but they feel that it is 'rather a long way to come from Cambridge especially to see the things which may not be at all in your line, and though we think the details obtained regarding them to be fairly accurate we are complete amateurs.' They would however be delighted to show Driberg the specimens in London, 'and to hear any comments & suggestions you may have to make'.

In this book he travels and hunts in the Southern Sudan (then p…art of the Congo), Uganda, and Kenya. Elephant, lion, rhino, and antelopes. A new variety of giraffe and rhino was named after him which he discovered during this trips. "Powell-Cotton (1866-1940) travelled to British East Africa in 1902 in order to find a specimen of a five-horned giraffe recently discovered by Sir Harry Johnston. He pursued impala, rhinoceros and lion on the Athi River, crossed the Tana and lived among the Kikuyu, successfully hunting elephant, then collecting trophy kudu and lion on the Baringo plain. He eventually found a five-horned giraffe on the outskirts of Masai territory. Reviewing the work in the Geographical Journal, Harry Johnston praised its descriptions and photographs of big game as well noting that "from a geographical point of view also Major Powell-Cotton's journey is a remarkable one. He covered a little new ground north of the explorations made by Macdonald and Austin, and south and west of the journeys of Wellby and Donaldson-Smith"." Czech/Africa. SCARCE BOOK. A very good copy.
