About This Item
Sutton Publishing, Stroud, Gloucestershire, 2004. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Illustrator: Illustrations & photographs. Second-hand copy, the only damages the previous owner's bookplate stuck onto the front end page. No other damage. No annotations. Double page map, some black-and-white photographs within the text, and a central section of black-and-white plates. A rover at opportunist by nature, Stanley's journalistic outlook and forceful method soon began to generate fierce criticism from a public who preferred their explorers to be gentlemen. Never fully accepted by the establishment  even during his more conservative later years  Stanley, as revealed by his biographer, seems now more like a figure from the modern media world than from the 19th century.  Paraphrasing the dust jacket blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
