Amsterdam, C. F. Stemler, 1876. 4to (28.2 x 24.0 cm). xl, 405 pp.; 11 maps, including several (very) large and/or coloured. Original brown pebbled cloth, richly embossed in gilt and black. = First volume of the most important Dutch geographical journal, with fine, often multi-coloured maps, in particular of the Dutch West and East Indies, and the Netherlands itself. However, in this volume also two maps of the Nile region, with the itinerary of Lady Alexandrine "Alexine" Pieternella Françoise Tinne (1835-1869). Alexine Tinne was a photographer and one of the first female explorers in history. She was the first European woman to attempt to cross the Sahara. She was murdered in Libya. "Tinne successfully photographed during her 1862-1864 trip up the Nile and in the Bahr-el-Ghazal region, making her the author of the first known views of Gondokoro (1862), as well as of inhabitants of the areas explored. The extreme rarity of these photographs led them to be used as models for engravings illustrating several articles and books on these regions in the 1860s and 1870s. Her botanical collections were described in a book entitled Plantae Tinneanae. It included the description of the new genus Blastania. Crinum tinneanum Kotschy & Peyr. . was named in her honour" (Wikipedia).
