Lowndes V, 1775. Henze IV, 10 ff. - Erste Ausgabe des bedeutenden Reiseberichtes des englischen Afrika-Forscher Mungo Park (1771-1806). Auf Anordnung der Afrikanischen Gesellschaft in London reiste er in das Innere Afrikas: "Das Niger-Problem war das Kardinalthema damaliger afrikanischer Geographie und insbesondere der 'African Association'. Quelle, Lauf und Mündung des Stroms waren gänzlich unbekannt..." (Henze). Park's Verdienst bestand darin, daß er den Weg durch den Sudan von Westen eröffnete und Kenntnisse über die Lauflinie des Nigers nach Europa brachte. "Eine Sternstunde der Entdeckungsgeschichte Afrikas... Die beiden Karten zeigen erstmals auf Grund von Beobachtungen die Flüsse Gambias, Senegal und Niger in ihrem richtigen Verhältnis zueinander, d.h. erstmals den Niger - nach O strömend !" (Henze S. 11-13). Die Tafeln zeigen 3 Ansichten und 2 Pflanzendarstellungen. - Tls. etw. fleckig, S. 1/2 mit ob. Randeinriß, Titelbl. mit 2 hs. Besitzverm., Portrait mit Fehlst. im ob. w. Rand. Vors. erneuert.
