Description: London, Chatto & Windus, 1876. Ring Bound. Royal 8vo. Our offering is a disbound collection of the famous illustrations taken from volume one of this two volume set. Also included are the boards and text pages (pp.viii, 264), and the desirable full-colour 'Map of Indian Localities embraced within the Author's Travels'. First Published by the author in london 1841, in two volumes. The plates, text pages and boards have been inserted into clear acetate sleeves contained within a three-ring binder. The plates within this edition are numbered consecutively to 114 (sometimes one, two, or four to a page). Our offering contains the frontispiece and 108 of those plates on 69 pages, lacking numbers 2-3, 7, 23, 51, 60, 86 to 90 (i.e. seven pages). (Plate 65 actually consists of four separate pages depicting pictographs; there is also a plate 101 and a plate 101 1/2). Most of the Plates are in excellent condition; some show traces of the binders glue at the gutter edge, and a number of plates show marginal smudging. The map has a few small closed tears at the margins (one repaired on the inside), some marginal smudging and a few spots of marginal soiling; else it is in very good condition. Note: the image of the map only depicts a portion of the whole map. .
