Arnhem, Nijmegen, E. & M. Cohen, (1860). Two parts in two. 8vo (22.9 x 13.7 cm). xix, 360 pp., 2 ll.; 369 pp. and two tinted lithographed frontispieces showing "sandstones" in northern Texas and "stone-wood" in New Mexico, one large, multi-folded colour-printed map of the route from the Mississippi to southern California by H. Lange and a profile from Forth Smith in Arkansas to the Pacific Ocean at San Francisco. Uniform blind half cloth over marbled boards.

Rare Dutch edition. Hense only quotes the German edition of 1858 as Tagebuch einer Reise vom Mississippi with 13 plates and one map. Sabin only lists the German edition, also published in 1860. Balduin Möllhausen (1825-1905) was next to Catlin the most important artist who painted the North American Indians, especially the Pueblo Indians. Deals also with natural history such as the gigantic cactus " Cereus giganteus", as well as geology and palaeontology. Ex-library copy with label pasted in on the back of the frontispiece of volume II. Inscribed on title pages. Foxing to the frontispieces and both title pages, otherwise clean. The binding is rather simple, but otherwise this is very good copy. OCLC reports only four copies in libraries world wide, viz. three in the Netherlands and one in the U.S.A. Hense III, p. 508. Not in Sabin.
