Verne, Jules. A Voyage Round the World. SOUTH AMERICA. With 71 Illustrations by Riou. London and New York: George Routledge and Sons, 1876. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in black.
First fully-illustrated British edition. This is not a mere travelogue, but rather a stirring tale of adventure involving many narrow escapes. One of the few Verne works that Sampson Low never published, LES ENFANTS DU CAPITAINE GRANT (1867) was first published in English in 1873 by Lippincott of Philadelphia, titled IN SEARCH OF THE CASTAWAYS. During the first three months of 1876, Ward Lock & Tyler of London issued the three parts separately in their wrappered series "Youth's Library of Wonders and Adventures" (with only three illustrations in each) -- as THE MYSTERIOUS DOCUMENT, ON THE TRACK and AMONG THE CANNIBALS. Shortly thereafter, beginning in April 1876, Routledge began issuing the three separate parts (but a different translation), titled A VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD and subtitled SOUTH AMERICA, AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND.
This copy is in bright red cloth (most we have seen are terra-cotta or olive green); it is in near-fine condition (one nick at the head of the spine, slight fading on the spine). See Taves & Michaluk V005; Myers 34.
