Africa Twenty

Our latest catalogue presents twenty interesting books and manuscripts on or about Africa, its history, exploration, geography, and natural history. Included are the rare and controversial Narrative of Dr. Livingston’s Discoveries in South-Central Africa, from 1849 to 1856 (no. 3), an autograph letter from Henry Morton Stanley (no. 11), and an inscribed presentation copy of Stanley’s Through South Africa (no. 14).

More than half of these come from the collection of the noted explorer, wildlife photographer and film-maker, and bibliophile Quentin Keynes FRGS (1921-2003).
