Description

BURTON, Richard Francis, Sir (1821-1890). Wanderings in West Africa from Liverpool to Fernando Po. By a F.R.G.S. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1863.

2 volumes, 8vo. Half-titles, folding lithographed frontispiece map in vol. I, wood-engraved frontispiece in Vol. II. (Occasional light spotting, signature R (pp. 241-256) lacking in vol. I with a duplicate of signature K (pp.129-144) bound in.) Publisher's dark maroon cloth, blind stamped, spine gilt-lettered-and-ruled, uncut and partially unopened (spines slightly sunned, some light staining and wear, a few separations along hinges).

FIRST EDITION, without Burton’s name on the title-page, but gilt-lettered “R.F. Burton” on spine, as usual (according to Penzer, “it apparently was Burton’s original intention to entirely suppress his name from [this] work”). Wanderings in West Africa is the first of Burton’s works influenced by his 4-year tenure as British consul in West Africa, in which he describes the outward journey from Liverpool to consular headquarters on the Spanish Island of Fernando Po off the coast of Cameroon. Penzer, pp. 71-72; Spink 28.
