Leather. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. Samuel Daniell (illustrator). A good copy of the second, and best edition, of this important African travel work by a founder of the Royal Geographical Society, John Barrow. Being one of the earliest travel works on South Africa available to Europeans. This edition was the first to have the hand-coloured illustrations and coloured maps. The edition prior to this (1801-04) contained only one plate, an uncoloured aquatint. Frequently regarded as the best edition, this influential work formed an expansive survey of South Africa which draws a focus on the Cape Colony. Barrow is noted for producing the first published modern map of the southern parts of the Cape Colony which was unrivalled. Collated, with all seventeen plates, being eight hand-coloured aquatint illustrations after Samuel Daniell and nine folding maps and charts. This set has been bound without the half-title to volume II and the publisher's adverts. The publisher's adverts have been provided in facsimile and are loosely inserted. Barrow was a British geographer and proponent of arctic exploration. He penned another work on his travels to China titled 'Travels in China'. This travel work recounts Barrow's role as Lord Macartney's private secretary during his mission to the Cape of Good Hope in 1797. The expeditions include one from Cape Town to Graaf-Reinet and another to Namaqualand. The ODNB notes that Barrow 'established new standards for travel writing'. The publisher's adverts are loosely inserted in facsimile form to the rear of the second volume. In full calf bindings. Rebacked with the original spine labels and boards preserved. Externally, very smart with just some minor shelfwear. Renewed endpapers and new tissue guards loosely inserted to volume I. Modern front endpaper to volume II is detached but present.
