8vo [22 x 14.5 cm]; xv, 180 pp, 15 plates from photos including frontis, index. original cloth, gilt title lettering on front cover and spine, cover lightly soiled, interior is clean, else a fine copy. The first half of the book describes the author's journey in 1901 to Baghdad, Basra, Bahirin, Muscat, Sherpore, etc around the Persian Gulf where he visits some areas off the beaten track. The second half of the book describes his stay on several Pacific islands including Tonga, Haapai, Fiji, etc and is remarkable for its explicit illustrations of cannibals, including one entitled 'Cannibals dragging prisoners to the ovens', two others showing cannibals slaughtering their victims. The author didn't seem too concerned about becoming a victim. There have been only two copies at auction in the last 25 years, the last at Sotheby's in 1997 selling at US$782, although it wasn't in as good a condition as this copy. A picture of this book is available on request.
First Edition
London, Horace Cox, 1904. 8vo. Original blue cloth, lettered in gilt; pp. xii, [4], 180, plates after photographs; light browning to endpapers with offsetting to adjacent pages, name on half title, otherwise very good. First edition, very rare. The son of one of the most celebrated Victorian sculptors and medallists embarked on a rather unusual tour. In 1901 he travelled with a civil servant from the embassy at Constantinople 'to try a British subject in Baghdad' (p. vii). Off the beaten track he visits Muscat and Bahrain, Basrah and the Marsh Arbas, Baghdad, the Euprates and Kerbala, Amara, then hopping over to the Persian side of the Gulf, venturing inland before returning to Muscat. The second part of the book, starting on p. 105 is a journey from New Zealand to the South sea islands of Tonga, the Vava'u island group, Samoa, and Fiji, with encounters of cannibals and two plates depicting them going about their business. COPAC lists copies at SOAS, in the BL, at Oxford, in the London Library and in the National Library of Scotland only.
