BAKER, Samuel White. The Albert N'Yanza, great basin of the Nile, and explorations of the Nile sources. (2nd edition). London, Macmillan and Co., 1867.2 volumes. Original pictorial green cloth gilt. With double-portrait frontispiece, tinted lithographed frontispiece, 2 maps (1 folding) and 33 wood-engravings. XXX,371; X,372 pp. First published in 1866. - In 1861 Baker set out, accompanied by his Hungarian wife Florence von Sass, on a voyage to discover the source of the White Nile. They spent some time in the Sudan and in 1862 they set out from Khartoum and arrived in Gondokoro in 1863 where they met up with British explorers James Augustus Grant and John Hanning Speke, who informed them they had determined that the source of the Nile was Lake Victoria. The Bakers then continued southward to Juba on the White Nile. Finally in 1864 reached the shores of the Luta N'Zige, in what is now northwestern Uganda. Baker renamed it Lake Albert (Albert Nyanza). Florence Barbara Maria Finnian von Sass(1841-1916) must be one of the best-kept secrets in the annals of African exploration. Her achievemens were unprecedented, but Victorian propriety and her own sense of absolute loyalty pushed her stiffly into the background whilst her companion, Sir Samuel Baker, was fêted as champion and darling of the empire. Her history is suitable mysterious (Robinson, Wayward women, p. 3). - A fine set.PMM 357; Hilmy I, p.49; Czech p.15; HowgegoIV, p.53-56. [Boeknr.: 8970 ]
