Tan buckram with applied photo-pictorial front cover illustration; 346pp, frontispiece and 8 inserted leaves of photographic plates (halftones). Externally a little dull, with rubbing and fading to pictorial onlay and spine lettering; front hinge thinly cracked (but holding); else complete and sound; Good or better. Camphor (1865-1919) was an A.M.E. Church missionary and President of The College of West Africa in Monrovia from 1896 to 1907. This volume of vignettes from his time spent in Liberia and the Interior was published following his return to America in 1908. The excellent photographic illustrations are uncredited but presumably by the author. BLOCKSON COLLECTION, 100. WORK p.102.
