Description: c1874 Life & Explorations Of Dr Livingstone Antique Missionary Exploration Book The Life & Explorations Of David Livingstone LLDCarefully Compiled From Reliable SourcesPublished by Adam & Co: London c1874 1st Edition Post DeathFeatures: Original leather & gilt bindings. Large Book. 21 Plates. "David Livingstone (1813 – 1873) was a Scottish physician, Congregationalist, and pioneer Christian missionary with the London Missionary Society, an explorer in Africa, and one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th-century Victorian era. David was the husband of Mary Moffat Livingstone, from the prominent 18th Century missionary family, Moffat. He had a mythic status that operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags-to-riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of British commercial and colonial expansion." General wear, fading, peel and some hinge splitting to the original covers and spine as shown. Covers secure. Front endpapers have been glued at some stage, presumably to strengthen the front hinge - it worked but is a bit crude. Includes 18 Plates + Frontis + Vignette + Map (21 total). Binding is otherwise in good order. There are no inscriptions. Some minor spotting with majority of pages clean and well presented. Odd page tear and edge chipping but no loss noted. Overall a decent copy of nice large 1st edition post death Livingstone publication. Please study photos to further understand condition. Size 31.5cm x 25cm x 5.5cm - 632 Pages
