Book First Edition
Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good -. First Edition. 1957. First edition. 294 pp., a frontispiece, 8 maps and 19 black and white illustrations. Frederick Marshman Bailey (1882-1967) was a British Army officer, explorer, spy, botanist and zoologist. His expeditions in Tibet and Assam Himalaya gave him many opportunities to pursue his hobbies of photography and butterfly collecting in the high Tibetan region. At the beginning of the 20th century geographers and explorers debated whether the river known as the Tsangpo in Tibet and the Brahmaputra in India concealed a waterfall as high and splendid as Niagara. After an unsuccessful attempt in 1911, Captain Bailey set out with Captain Morshead in 1913. They had no official sanction of the Government of India or permission from the Tibetan Government. They crossed the mountains to Chimdro, and after they had reassured the Tibetans they penetrated further down the Tsangpo gorges, Morshead meanwhile making a map of the area. Bailey only turned back when, exhausted by sickness and deserted by a gang of thieves, he was faced by an unscalable cliff. Having solved the mystery of the falls, the two explorers pursued their jouney, mapping the uncharted frontier of Tibet. The book is bound in the original maroon boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with light bumping to the top front corner and slightly heavier bumping to the spine ends. There is a small dent on the rear board. The contents are tight and clean with some light tape stains on the front and rear fixed endpapers where the flaps of the dustwrapper had once been attached. There is no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper has noticeable shelf wear with light soiling and the edges are rubbed with creasing along the top edge. The spine ends and corners are bumping and nicked and there are tape stains running down part of the edge of the front and rear flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Jonathan Cape, London, 1946, first edition; 8vo, 140mm x 204mm; pp 312; frontispiece and 22 further plates from photographs by the author; folding map of the route to Tashkent and another map of the area around the city; red clot titled gilt on the spine, there a little dulled, and with the English title in Cyrillic script gilt on the front cover; lacks the front free end paper, corners very slightly bumped but o verall clean and in good condition. . . . . . Bailey was onn the Younghusband expedition to Tibet in 1903 and later spent many years travelling throughout the North West Frontier areas and the countries of the Roof of the World, the high regions of central Asia comprising the Pamirs, the Himalayas, the Tibet, or Himalayan, Plateau, the Tian Shan and the Altai mountains. In 1918, following the Russian revolutions, he went on a political mission to Tashkent, the largest city in the Emirate of Bukhara and later to become the capital of Uzbekistan, to seek to identify Soviet intentions in the area and understand the activities of the various agents of the Central Powers operating there. In particuarly he learned of the activities of the Indian nationalist Raja Mahendra Pratap who was liaising with Germany and Russi seeking to have launched a German-Soviet assault from Afghanistan into India. He eventually had to flee for his life from the city, disguised as a prisoner-of-war and in a surrealist twist was recruited by the Cheka (the first of a long line of Russian secret service organisations) to track down a rogue British agent understood to be operating in the area, himself.
