Only edition authorized by the German author and publisher. Paris, A. Bohné, Bruxelles, Fr. Van Meenen et Cie (then A. Lacroix, Van Meenen et cie from volume 2), 1860-1861. 4 volumes in-8, black half-chagrin, spine ribbed, gilded title and tomaison (period binding). First edition of the French translation, illustrated with 4 color frontispiece lithographs, an engraved portrait hors texte, 92 engraved figures on 53 plates hors texte and a large fold-out map. An excellent account of Barth's travels from 1850 to 1854 over the part of Central Africa from Baghermi in the east to Timbuktu in the west. Many of his observations, which are fairly accurate, are devoted to Timbuktu, following in the footsteps of René Caillié, whose presence he confirmed 25 years earlier. (Chadenat 1545.) Some light rubbing, light brown spots on the frontispieces and fold-out map. A fine copy.
