'The narrative describes two expeditions, one in which the author was accompanied by Francis Galton in the Ovampo country, and the other when he travelled by himself to Lake Ngami. The courage and endurance of the explorers were remarkable. few, if any, books give so full and complete an account of Namaqualand, Damaraland, and the Ovampo country and the description of the fauna of these countries is absolutely unequalled' (Mendelssohn). 'A cornerstone book of African hunting in the middle of the nineteenth century. The London edition is much more difficult to locate than the American edition' (Czech).f Mendelssohn I, 41; Gay 3128; Czech p5 (U.S. edition).

First edition of Andersson's account of his expedition in modern Namibia to Lake Ngami from 1850 to 1853; a "famous early volume of African sport and travel a cornerstone book of African hunting in the mid-19th century" (Czech). This is an attractively illustrated book with plates by highly regarded illustrator, Joseph Wolf. Charles John Andersson (1827-1867) was a Swedish explorer who joined Francis Galton's expedition to south-west Africa, "an area which was, at that time, largely unknown to Europeans" (ODNB). The expedition set out in 1850 and eventually reached Tounobis on the border with Botswana. Galton left in 1851, but "Andersson stayed on, determined to follow a career as a trader, traveller and naturalist", basing himself at Otjimbingwe, central Namibia, and becoming "deeply involved in the tribal politics of the region" (Howgego). In 1853, he set out to cross the desert to Lake Ngami (now a seasonal marsh), taking a circuitous route via Windhoek and the Kalahari desert. After reaching the lake, he continued 60 miles further north in search of the Okavango but was obliged to turn back, returning the following year via more settled districts. He published his account during a two-year visit to England. "Few, if any, books give so full and complete an account of Namaqualand, Damaraland, and the Ovampo country, and the description of the fauna of these countries is absolutely unequalled. Many exciting hunting adventures are depicted by pen and pencil, and the author obtained a great insight into the curious customs of the natives and their rulers" (Mendelssohn). Czech, pp. 6-7; Howgego IV A19; Mendelssohn I, p. 41; SABIB I, p. 65. Octavo (250 x 160 mm). Tinted lithographic frontispiece with tissue guard, 15 similar plates, folding map, wood-engravings to the text. Contemporary polished calf, spine with raised bands, bands and compartments ruled and decorated in gilt, red morocco spine label, covers ruled in gilt and dotted in blind, board edges decorated in gilt and turn-ins in blind, marbled endpapers and edges, silk bookmarkers. Bookplate to front pastedown. Some worming to spine and back cover, a few abrasions to covers, a few gatherings proud at fore edge, scattered foxing. A very good copy.

Första upplagan av värmlänningen Charles John Anderssons första bok med bra proveniens! Boken har efter konstnären Fritz von Dardel (1817-1901) gått i arv i släkten. Boken är sannolikt skickad till Fritz von Dardel av C. J. Andersson. Det finns inga uppgifter om att de skulle ha träffats och Dardel kan knappast heller ha varit i London i början av maj 1856. Det finns däremot flera belägg för att Fritz von Dardel kände pappan, Llewellyn Lloyd. Han gjorde flera karikatyr över denne och berättar i sina minnen om ett möte med den äldre Lloyd i Vänersborg 1863. Dardel blev kapten 1854.Charles John Andersson (1827-67) var oäkta son till Llewellyn Lloyd, avlad under ett av dennes äventyr bland björnar och pigor i Sverige. Lloyd ville först inte erkänna sonen utan denne fick ta moderns namn. Efter studier i Vänersborg och Lund begav sig Andersson till London, och ägnade sig därefter åt jakt och upptäcksresor i nuvarande Namibia. Han dog på vägen till Ondonga i Ovamboland. Enligt sägnen skall Lloyd ha erbjudit Andersson sitt erkännande och efternamn efter att denne börjat bli känd, men Andersson tackade nej.Lake Ngami behandlar två expeditioner. Den första tillsammans med Francis Galton till Nangoro Werft 1851-52 och den andra på egen hand till Lake Ngami 1853.
