"African Hunting From Natal to the Zambesi, From 1852 to 1860" by William Charles Baldwin, illustrated by James Wolf and J. B. Zwecker, published in New York by Harper & Brothers in 1863. This classic 19th-century account chronicles Baldwin's hunting and travels through Natal and the Zambesi region of southern Africa between 1852 and 1860.

Tall 12mo (5" x 7.75"), in full brown publisher's cloth with ornate blind-stamped frames to the covers and a gilt title and author on the spine with overall blind-stamped decoration. Yellow endpapers. Illustrated with 16 of 17 full-page plates and 30 in-text illustrations. The folding map is lacking, and the plate facing page 114 is missing without loss of text.

This is an ex-library copy from Bethel Reformed Church, with library stamps, card pocket, and “Due” slip. Pages 95–102 and 117–122 have tape repairs, pages 103–114 are laid in, and pages 123–142 are nearly detached from the text block. The covers show edgewear and bumped/rubbed corners with some loss. The spine is glued down to the rear of the text block and is chipped and torn with loss at the head and foot. A fascinating illustrated survival of an important early account of African hunting and exploration.
