Hübsche Fotogeschichte über zwei Braunbären aus dem Himalaya, die zusammen mit einem Elefanten, einem Bengaltiger, einem Leoparden und anderen Tieren in den New Yorker Zoo gebracht wurden. Dyott erzählt, wie die ganze Menagerie eingefangen wurde, beschreibt die ereignisreiche Überfahrt nach Amerika mit dem Dampfschiff "City of Mobile" und schließlich die Ankunft in New York, wo die beiden fotogenen Bärenbabies offensichtlich für ebenso viel Aufmerksamkeit sorgten wie später der kleine Eisbär Knut. - Vorsatz mit zeitgenössischem Geschenkeintrag, in dem auch eine Einladung in den New Yorker Zoo ausgesprochen wird. - Vorsätze etw. braunfleckig, sonst innen gutes Exemplar.

Zustand: Very Good. Offering this uniquely-signed copy of Man Hunting in the Jungle: Being the Story of a Search for Three Explorers Lost in the Brazilian Wilds , by George M. Dyott. New York: Blue Ribbon Books, 1930, 1st American Edition (NAP). Hardcover, no dust jacket, deckled edges, with photo illustrations in b/w. Chronicles the author's real-life rescue expedition into the wilds of the Brazilian Amazon to find out what happened to the famous British explorer, Colonel Percy Fawcett, who had vanished in 1925 while searching for the mythical lost City of Z. Overall condition is Very Good. A little bumping and wear to the cover, minor spine slant, binding remains secure. Mild age toning to pages, a small stamp "Bloomingdales Book Dept New York" on title page (see picture), else pages clean and unmarked. The signature on the ffep is not that of George Dyott, but of his wireless and radio operator, Bill de Mello, who was recruited for the mission by Dyott. He is a crucial character in the story, introduced by name on the first page (p. 13). Bill inscribed and signed as follows: "To my dearest friends, Guy and Dottie; with affection, from Bill De Mellow. N.Y. Nov. 4, 1957." The 1957 date ties his signature into the Hollywood film adaptation of the book, which was in production during 1957 and released in 1958. It is likely that Bill was in New York for an event related to the movie when he signed this book. This is indeed a special copy!
