    Description

    Colour Plates, First Edition, Folding Maps, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    The vanishingly scarce first English language translation of this work, translated from the original Hungarian by Frederick H. Hatch.

    Illustrated with four folding colour maps to the rear. Collated, complete.

    Posewitz's survey examines the physical structure, geological formations, and mineral wealth of the island. Posewitz analyses rock strata, volcanic features, and fossil evidence, while also cataloguing deposits of coal, gold, antimony, and other commercially significant minerals.

    With the bookplate of the Zoological Society of London to the front pastedown, and with library stamps to the front free endpaper and to the title page tail.

    A wonderful study of the geology of Borneo.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding. Bumping to back strip head and tail, with minor hole in cloth to back strip. Front hinge strained, but firmly held. Bookplate to front pastedown, stamps to front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages a touch age toned to perimeters, otherwise clean and bright. Library stamp to title page tail. Small closed tears to three of the four maps.

    Very Good
