Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. London, David Bogue, 1849 [first edition in English]. Octavo, two volumes, xvi, 338, and vi, 378 pages plus a frontispiece (in the first volume) and 3 small folding maps (all with a little hand-colouring). Early half calf and marbled papered boards, with all edges marbled and matching marbled endpapers; leather a little rubbed and marked, with light tidemarks near the joints of the first volume; tidemark to the frontispiece; scattered foxing; an excellent set. (The frontispiece, with an image size 188 × 114 mm without any margins, has been mounted on thick paper; presumably this was done at the time the book was bound in the nineteenth century). Prince Adalbert (1811-1873) was a Prussian naval theorist and admiral; several journeys led him between 1826 and 1842 to the Netherlands, Britain, Russia, Turkey, Greece, and Brazil (Wikipedia). He spent the last four months on 1842 in Brazil. Alexander von Humboldt makes the following comments in his three-page introduction to this translation: 'this interesting Work . conducts us through Brazil to the mouth of the Amazon River, and through this into one of its important tributaries, the Xingu, the course of which is now explored for the first time. The Journal of Travels, printed originally only for the perusal of his friends . is not in the strict sense of the word a scientific book; nevertheless it contains observations and views of nature and customs which reflect a vivid picture of the scenes which the Prince witnessed and passed through. Instruction is imparted in the most pleasing manner, when an unaffected simplicity and an absence of all pretension pervade a work like this'. This set was purchased at the dispersal sale of the Hope family's historic property 'Wolta Wolta' at Clare in South Australia; there is some serendipity in this, given the Schomburgk family's close connection with the state. Richard Schomburgk accompanied his explorer brother Robert on an expedition in 1840-44 to British Guiana, as botanist and historian. He later published the three-volume account of the expedition before emigrating to South Australia, where he was a pioneering vigneron and an influential head of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').

Prima edizione
Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 338 pp; and 377 pp. First edition; first printing. Two volumes rebacked in 3/4 dark blue leather with gilt trim, raised cords, gilt lettering stamped across the spine; marble, paper covered boards; all edges flecked maroon; black headbands. Vol. 1 fp. portrait of the author; vol. 1 with fold-out map of the "Bahia of Rio de Janeiro"; vol. 2, fold-out maps of the "Province of Rio de Janeiro", the "Delta of the River Amazonas" and the "River Xingu". Rebacked in 1901 by Hegan McFerran. Introductory note: "The peculiar circumstances which accompany the appearance of this Work in the English language call for some acknowledgment of the obligation which His Royal Highness Prince Adalbert of Prussia has been pleased to confer upon the Translators. For as this narrative was originally printed in German for private circulation only, we are indebted to the condescension of his Royal Highness, not only for his sanction of our labours, but for the copy of the Work from which this translation has been made." Quoting the introduction itself (extract from a letter to Sir Robert H. Schomburgk) by Humboldt: ". . . I may connect the gratification derived from this interesting Work, which, in conjunction with Mr. Taylor, you have undertaken to translate. It conducts us through Brazil to the mouth of the Amazon river, and through this into one of its important triutaries, the Xing?, the course of which is now explored for the first time. . . The Journal of his Travels, printed originally only for the perusal of his friends, and enriched with sketches made from nature by the Author himslef [referring to the original German edition], is not in the strict sense of the word a scientific book; nevertheless it contains observations and views of nature and customs which reflect a vivid picture of the scenes which the Prince witnessed and passed through. Size: 8vo. 0.0.

Prima edizione
First edition in English of the rare, privately printed German Aus meinem Tagebuche 1842-1843.; 2 volumes, 8vo, pp. xvi, 338, [1]; v, [1], 377, [1]; frontispiece in volume I (slightly offset onto title page), vignette titles in both volumes, 4 folding maps (3 hand-colored in outline); [B5-6] crudely opened in volume I, minor foxing; slight discoloration of the spine else a very good, copy in original brown cloth, gilt-lettered spines. Adalbert (1811-73) was a German nobleman and explorer who traveled for four months in open boats in 1842 and 1843 primarily along the Amazon from the delta to the Rio Xingu, thence to Sousel, finally ascending the cataracts into tribal territory. "Of all the tributaries of the Amazon, the Xingu was the least known [and Adalbert's survey was the first of its kind, but saw only the lowest 300 kilometres of the river. In fact the upper Xingu remained unexplored until Karl von den Steinem arrived at the headwaters . in August 1884" (Howgego II, A-3). Sabin 162; Borba de Moraes, I, 13.
