Ouvrage fondamental pour la connaissance des régions du Tchad et du Niger. Bon exemplaire, non coupé. Jean Tilho (1875-1956), officier colonial français, Ses travaux scientifiques s'avèrent considérables. Il démontre l'emplacement exact du lac Tchad, que la possibilité d'une communication Tchad-Nil est peu probable, que les variations périodiques du lac ont des causes entièrement météorologiques, que le lac n'est pas en voie de disparition à cause d'un dessèchement climatique mais en raison d'une capture du système Logone-Chari par la Bénoué. Il a en outre établi plus de deux mille kilomètres de cartographie très détaillés d'une zone s'étendant du Tibesti au Darfour. Ces recherches lui permettent d'être élu en 1918 à l'Académie des sciences et au Bureau des Longitudes. (wikipédia) P2-5B.

Très rare ensemble complet des 3 tomes des Documents scientifiques de la mission politico-scientifique dite Tilho destinée autant à clarifier les frontières entre les possessions françaises et anglaises qu'à étudier la géographie complète située entre le Niger français et le lac Tchad.Ouvrage bien complet des 7 cartes dépliantes contenues dans une enveloppe. Cette mission Tilho fut la première à fournir une étude d'une telle ampleur : hydrographique, géographique, botanique, etc.Officier sorti de Saint-Cyr dans l'infanterie coloniale, il gagne tout de suite l'Afrique pour diverses expéditions, ses études se révèlent toujours précieuses."Les documents scientifiques et géographiques recueillis par la mission Tilho, sont considérables et du plus haut intérêt pour l'étude de toute cette partie du continent africain.« Ils ne constituent pas, dit le capitaine Tilho, une monographie des régions parcourues, mais ils établissent une liaison entre les travaux de même ordre déjà exécutés, ou ceux susceptibles d'être exécutés dans l'avenir, dans le bassin du Niger ou dans celui du Tchad, et à amorcer une semblable liaison entre le bassin du Tchad et celui du Nil ». Ils ont, de plus, apporté sur certains points, des modifications à des opinions admises ou à des hypothèses faites jusqu'à ce jour, notamment en ce qui concerne la répartition du magnétisme terrestre, les valeurs de l'altitude du Tchad et celle des régions avoisinantes. l'existence probable d'une aire de basses pressions vers le Tchad, la structure géologique du centre africain, la précision des longitudes obtenues par le transport du temps à terre à l'aide de montres pour torpilleurs, etc.Ce qui subsistait du mystère qui, jusque vers le milieu du siècle passé et postérieurement, enveloppait encore le Tchad, se trouve aujourd'hui complètement dissipé."Source : Edgar MERCINIER.

EA. Mit etlichen ganzseitigen Foto-Tafeln, einer ganzseitigen Karte sowie einer gefalteten Farbkarte. OBr. XI, 92 S. Gr. 8°. OU. Fast neuwertig erscheinendes Exemplar, lediglich der OU mit minimalen Gebrauchsspuren. Jean Tilho leitete die unter dem Namen 'Mission Tilho' bekannt gewordene mehrjährige (1906-1909) Afrika-Expedition, auch Niger-Tschad-Expedition genannt. (Das hierzu erschienene 4-bändige Werk auch bei mir erhältlich - KAIAPO). Tilho hat sich besonders um die genauere Erforschung und Lagebestimmung des Tschadsees verdient gemacht. Hier vorliegend ein äußerst seltenes Werk über spätere Forschungsreisen in den Jahren 1912-1917.

EA. 3 Bände plus Kartenmappe. So vollständig! Die drei Bände sind ohne einen jeweils eigenen Titel, hilfsweise werden bisweilen die Namen der einzelnen Artikel dafür genannt. Mit 105 unpag. Fototafeln sowie 27 pag. Fototafeln; weiterhin 95 pag. Tafeln (gen. Planches), das sind Karten, Panoramen, Diagramme und Kurven, ganzseitig, doppelseitig und teils gefaltet oder mehrf. gefaltet; weiterhin 139 Abb. (gen. Figures), das sind Zeichnungen, Kurven und Karten, teils im Text, teils ganzseitig. Schließlich 7 mehrfach gefaltete Farbkarten (alles erschienene!) in Mappe mit Schließbändchen. (Aufgrund der uneinheitlichen Benennung und Zählung von Abbildungen und Tafeln in den 3 Bänden herrscht wunderbare Vielfalt bei der Beschreibung dieser 3 Textbände; es gibt so viele Versionen wie Angebote.) OBr.-Bände und OMappe. LX, 412 S. / VIII, 631 S. / VII, 484, (1) S. Gr. 4°. Bd. I : Einband mit Gebrauchsspuren, innen 2-3 Seiten gering stockfleckig, sonst sehr gut, vollständig und sauber. Zwischen den vorderen Vorsätzen sind zwei von Tilho handgeschriebene Briefseiten enthalten! Bd.II : Einband mit einigen ausgebesserten Stellen, Rücken stark gebräunt; innen ausgezeichnet, im Rücken teils etwas angebrochen. Bd. III : Mit Wasserschaden! Im unteren Drittel ist das Buch leicht gewellt bzw. hat sichtbare Feuchtigkeitsränder; etliche Tafeln des anthropologischen Teils klebten im unteren Bereich, unterhalb der Fotos (!) , zusammen und sind jetzt, nach dem Auftrennen, teils fleckig und mit kleinen Fehlstellen. Fotos nur minimalst betroffen. Zahlr. kleine Stempel auf Titel und Tafeln. Ansonsten innen ebenfalls sehr sauber, vollständig. - Die 7 Karten sind sehr gut erhalten, völlig sauber, ohne Randeinrisse. Lediglich einige der Knickstellen wurden mit (schlechtem) Klebeband von hinten verstärkt. Die Mission Tilho, auch Niger-Tschad-Expedition genannt, erbrachte auf zahlreichen Gebieten eine ungeheuere Menge von wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und Daten, u.a. ist ein anthropologisch/ethnologischer Teil in Bd. III enthalten. Das komplette Werk wie hier wird äußerst selten angeboten, die Kartenmappe (Karte Nr. 8, auf dem Schuber angegeben, ist nie erschienen!) ist sehr selten, der erst später erschienene Bd.III fast nicht zu bekommen. Hier auf Grund der Mängel von Band III zum Sonderpreis.
