New York 1897, Century. Red cloth spine over boards, gold stamping, bit of corner wear, else clean, solid, 339p.,index top edge gilt, 38 full page b. w. photos, 13 x 19.5 cm. FIRST EDITION This work was written by an American woman traveler and explorer. She had a lot of courage to travel alone. She was an accomplished author and writer. * This work covers her extended journey and stay at Java. Please see photos posted to our web site one of which shows the chapter headings. . An excellent and early [1897] description of the people, flora, fauna, customs and traditions of the people of the Java islands, Dutch influence, with side trips to all of the famous places such as Boro Boedor, Mendoet, Djokjakarta and that area. *** WHO WAS LADY SCIDMORE: Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore [1856-1928] was an American writer, photographer and geographer, who became the first female board member of the National Geographic Society. She visited Japan many times between 1885 and 1928. . Scidmore was born October 14, 1856 in Clinton, Iowa. She attended Oberlin College. Her interest in travel was aided by her brother, George Hawthorne Scidmore, a career diplomat who served in the Far East from 1884 to 1922. Eliza was often able to accompany her brother on assignments and his diplomatic position gave her entree into regions inaccessible to ordinary travelers. . Further eastern travels resulted in Jinrikisha Days in Japan, published in 1891. It was followed by a short guidebook, Westward to the Far East (1892). A trip to Java resulted in Java, the Garden of the East (1897) and visits to China and India resulted in several National Geographic Magazine articles and two books, China, the Long-Lived Empire (1900), and Winter India (1903). . Another stay in Japan during the Russo-Japanese War became the basis for Scidmore's only known work of fiction, As the Hague Ordains (1907). The novel purports to be the account of a Russian prisoner's wife who joins her husband at the prisoner's hospital in Matsuyama. *** Please inquire with us, as we usually have several of her titles in stock. *** REFERENCE:
