1913 Panama And What It Means
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding
The first edition of John Foster Fraser's trip to Panama, published by Cassell and Company in 1913.
Original cloth binding.
With a frontispiece, forty eight photographic plates and a folding colour plate of the Panama Canal route. Collated complete.
The plate containing the Gatun lock is located on p.134 rather than p.138.
In his travelogue, Fraser delves into the geography, history and culture of the region. As well as being a travel author, Fraser was a special parliamentary correspondent. Such shines through with his commentary on the completion of the Panama Canal and its value for American enterprise.
