Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. WITH ALL 6 OF THE COLOR LITHOGRAPHS ---- THE FIRST EDITIONS ARE NOT VERY COMMON ---- Welcomely, this copy is free of foxing. But, it was formerly in the Toronto Public Library, and has blind-stamps to that effect (blind-stamps are preferrable to more conspicuous foxing spots). Very sturdy copy, which appears to be unread after it was rebound in a utilitarian binding. -------------------------- Samuel White Baker was a paragon of Victorian manhood. He was born on June 8, 1821 in London, the offspring of a wealthy commercial family. In 1843, he married his first wife, Henrietta Ann Bidgood Martin, who eventually bore him 7 children. Baker's brother, John Garland Baker, married Henrietta's sister, Eliza Heberden Martin, and after a double wedding, the four moved to Mauritius to oversee the family's plantation. After two years they moved to Ceylon (modern day Sri Lanka). After twelve years of marriage, his wife, Henrietta, died of typhoid fever in 1855, leaving Samuel a widower at the age of thirty-four. His two sons and one daughter died young. Baker left Ceylon and returned to England, leaving his four surviving daughters in the care of his unmarried sister Mary. While Baker was visiting the Duke of Atholl on his shooting estate in Scotland, he befriended Maharaja Duleep Singh and in 1858-1859, the two partnered an extensive hunting trip in central Europe and the Balkans. The two continued into Vidin where, to amuse the Maharajah, Baker went to the Vidin slave market. There, Baker fell in love with a white slave girl, destined for the Ottoman Pasha of Vidin. He was outbid by the Pasha but bribed the girl's attendants and they ran away in a carriage together and eventually Florence became his lover and wife and accompanied him everywhere he journeyed thereafter. Their first journey together was to Africa to search for the Source of the Nile River. In order to have the best chance for success, Baker felt that he needed to learn Arabic, so Baker and his wife spent a year exploring The Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia, and hunting with the Sword Hunters of the Hamram Arabs. Baker now fluent in Arabic, he and his wife set out to discover the source of the Nile. They eventually met up with Speke and Grant, who were on their way home to England after discovering the source of the Nile, which they named Lake Victoria. Speke and Grant told Baker about another lake they had heard about from native Africans, and provided Baker with all of the information they possessed concerning the rumored lake. Baker and his wife eventually found this lake, and named it The Albert N'Yanza (Albert Lake). Upon returning to England, Baker wrote The Albert N'Yanza, published in 1866, while, although the events therein occurred earlier, The Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia was published a year later in 1867. In 1869, at the request of the khedive Ismail, Baker led a military expedition to the equatorial regions of the Nile, with the object of suppressing the slave-trade there and opening the way to commerce and civilization. Before starting from Cairo with a force of 1700 Egyptian troops - many of them discharged convicts - he was given the rank of Pasha and Major-General in the Ottoman army. The khedive appointed him Governor-General of the new territory of Equatoria for four years at a salary of £10,000 a year; and it was not until the expiration of that time that Baker returned to Cairo, and then England. Baker wrote an account of his time as Pasha in Ismailia (1874). Knighted by Queen Victoria, Sir Samuel Baker and his wife, Lady Baker, settled in England, and both died there, Baker in 1893, and Lady Baker in 1916.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First American edition. 8vo. [5], vi-xx, [3], 24-608 pp. Brown pebbled publisher's cloth with gold lettering and gold rules on the spine. Coated brown endpapers and pastedowns. Wood-engraved frontispiece with 15 additional engraved plates, based on original sketches by the author; one fold-out map and a full-page map. Concluding the title page: "Interspersed with many highly exciting adventures of the author, among elephants, lions, buffaloes, hippopatmi, rhinoceros, antelopes, and other great game of the country; accompanied by expert native sword hunters." Baker provides an account of Eastern Africa: its animals, its peoples, its rivers, its lakes, and its landscapes. He completed the European discovery of the source of the Nile, naming the Albert Nyanza, with help from Sir John Speke. His account of Eastern Africa would greatly influence the common person's attitudes and perceptions of the Nile basin and the peoples who lived there. The plates in the volume depict Baker's penchant for big game hunting. Throughout his life Baker would travel to Eastern Africa, India, and Central Asia to hunt the big game animals that lived in these regions. Other than hunting, Baker served as a governor of Egyptian territory in the Nile Basin, working to suppress the Arab slave trade and advance British interests in the region. This volume presents an important record in the history of colonization and the natural history of the Nile basin (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: "Baker, Sir Samuel White"). A Very Good book with rubbing to the edges of the boards, two former owner's markings, front hinge slightly starting.…
