Red Hardback. Condizione: Very Good-. Reprint (first Indian edition). 1974. First Indian edition (being a facsimile of the English edition of 1916 published under the title 'Western Tibet and the British Borderland). xv, 376pp., numerous black and white illustrations and 3 maps. Charles Atmore Sherring was a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and Deputy Commissioner in the Indian Civil Services, and wrote this book in 1905. Taking an opportunity to travel in his capacity as Deputy Commissioner, he toured the lesser-known tracts of Western Tibet. This area of Tibet and the areas on the British boundary are most sacred to the Buddhist and Hindu because of the presence of the holy lake of Mansarovar and the venerated peak of Kailash. Written amidst daily duties while travelling, braving tempestuous rains and freezing winds, the object of this book is non-political, and the author has omitted controversial matter. There is also a chapter by T.G. Longstaff describing an attempt to climb Gurla Mandhata, considered at that time to be the highest in the world. The book is bound in the original red cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear on the boards and some staining with some light indentations on the front board. There is a little staining on the top edge of the rear board. The titling on the spine is worn and the spine ends are lightly bumped. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription.…
