1848 – Australia Exploration Travelogue | Adventures in Libya Desert – 2in1

This volume from John Murray III’s Home and Colonial Library combines two 19th-century travel narratives. Henry William Haygarth’s Recollections of Bush Life in Australia recounts eight years in the Australian interior during the 1840s, describing pastoral life, bushrangers, Aboriginal peoples, and the effects of colonial settlement. Bayle Frederick St. John’s Adventures in the Libyan Desert and the Oasis of Jupiter Ammon follows his journey across the Libyan Desert to Egypt’s Siwah Oasis, detailing encounters with Bedouins, the challenges of desert travel, and the exploration of ancient ruins. Together, the works reflect the Victorian fascination with travel, exploration, and distant cultures.

Condition: Very good. Full leather, tight and secure. Hinges show signs of professional restoration. Leather corners show light wear, but pages are generally clean with no major loss.
