Translated from the original Swedish edition and edited by Ione & Jalmar Rudner. 209 x 147 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 184, incl. index; maps; monochrome illustrations. Fine condition. "This is the last of five joint publications by Jalmar (1917-2003) and Ione Rudner on early Swedish travellers and pioneers in nineteenth-century south-western Africa. The renowned trader and ornithologist Axel Wilhelm Eriksson features prominently in each of them. Rosenblad's narrative of events in the last decade of the century included his participation in the strenuous Hartmann Expedition along the coast, other journeys and adventures, encounters with the indigenous peoples, and internecine strife in the territory at the time of the German occupation.".
