Description
Step back into the heroic age of exploration with this magnificent Victorian leather-bound edition of The Life & Explorations of Dr. Livingstone —one of the most iconic missionary and African travel biographies of the 19th century. This oversized, heavily gilded presentation-style volume features stunning gold-stamped artwork , raised spine bands, and gilt page edges that immediately evoke the grandeur of the era. Produced in America around 1875–1885 , this edition was created to honor the legendary explorer David Livingstone—the man whose journeys across Africa changed the world’s understanding of the continent. Though the book shows honest and significant wear from nearly 150 years of age, its ornate Victorian cover remains a beautiful display piece , perfect for collectors of antique exploration books, missionaries, historians, or those seeking a striking addition to a vintage library.

Exactly as advertised and in great condition. Packages was tightly wrapped in plastic with no shipping damage. Book wasn’t terribly expensive but I didn’t cross reference others online, but for me it was a fair price. I bought two books for different sellers and this seller shipped promptly with frequent updates
Amazing seller, great care of the product I purchased, perfectly sealed, handled with care and very fast shipping! It looked even better in person but exactly as described with an incredible price as well. Customer service, sales execution and overall experience is 11/10 Will order again very soon!
