1880 A Trip to Mexico, Being Notes of a Journey from Lake Erie to Lake Tezcuco

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

The first edition of Henry Corry Rowley Becher's account of a late nineteenth century trip to Mexico.

Illustrated with twenty mounted albumen prints - each retaining their original tissue guard - and with a lithograph plate of hieroglyphs. One albumen print detached and loosely inserted. This is good as often all the albumen prints detach as they were not stuck on very well 

Collated, lacking the lithograph railway map however, hence half the price otherwise. 

The author, Henry Cory Rowley Becher, was an English-born Canadian attorney, based for most of his career in London, Ontario. 

This work presents a diary of his travels to and within Mexico in February and March of 1878, and features an extensive appendix. The author was admitted to the Royal Geographical Society in the year of its publication.
