    Folding Maps, Illustrated

    The 1894 new edition in green cloth.

    Illustrated with a frontispiece, one folding map, twenty-six plates, and twenty-seven in-text images. Collated, complete.

    A detailed travelogue of the author's own experiences on the road to Kashmir, through the Western Himalayan Range, Baltistan, Nanga Parbat, Hunza, and Rawal Pindi.

    Written by Edward Frederick Knight, an English barrister, soldier, journalist, and author. His written works are mainly based on his dispatches as a war correspondent.

    This work focuses on the interactions between the British, Russian, and Chinese empires in the region, including Knight's participation in Colonel Durand's expedition against the Hunza-Nagara.

    Contains twenty-three pages of original publisher's advertisements to the rear of the work.
