Description
xix + 432pp + 124pp. of advertisements, hardcover, antique Dutch binding, leather spine (somewhat loose), with gilt title on spine, with 1 folding original-colour map of the Philippines – the pride of any Filipiniana collection, and 1 folding map of “Itinerario de la Navegacion por Vapor de Cadiz a Manila y à Hong-Kong”. EXTREMELY RARE
Second edition of an extremely rare guide book for the Philippine Islands, especially Manila.
With extensive information on inhabitants, climate, pharmacies; administrative, commercial… a gem.
This edition apparently did not include the Manila map which was replaced by a shipping route map from Cadiz to Manila and Hong Kong.
