Red brick cloth covered boards gilt titling to front board and to spine (a little rubbed and slightly faded). Some marks/spots but sound. Front endpaper inscription clipped. The translation from the Italian has been made by Caroline de Filippi, nee Fitzgerald. The illustrations are from photographs taken by Vittorio Sella, member of the expedition.

This is a very scarce work of Africana. The mountain range of Ruwenzori is believed to be the mythical mountains of the Moon referred to by Ptolemy. Located in central Africa, these snowy mountains drain into the lakes that feed the Nile making them the true source of the great river. Perpetually shrouded in mists, Stanley and other explorers thought upon first sight of the mountains that they were simply a trick of the eye. Many explorers had tried to ascend these peaks but had never succeeded. The Duke's expedition was the first to truly explore and document the range after nearly half a century of speculation, setting in place the final piece of the Nile puzzle. This successful expedition climbed all the major mountain peaks. A REMARKABLE NARRATIVE.

One of the great Italian noblemen explorers of his day, Prince Luigi Amedeo led expeditions to Eritrea, Canada, and famously the North Pole before leading a team to the Rwenzori mountains the so-called 'mountains of the moon' after reading a summary of a lecture by Henry Morton Stanley in 1905. Meticulously planned and gargantuan in size, the expedition caravan, comprising over 400 geologists, botanists, zoologists, and photographers and 200 Ugandan porters, set off from Lake Victoria in May 1906, heading towards the mountains on Uganda's western border. 'For the next six months, most of which were spent in perpetual rain, the team spread out in all directions, producing the first detailed maps of the area and making several ascents. Most of the major peaks and features were named, including Mount Margherita (= Mt Stanley, 5109 metres, ascended on 18.6.06) and Mount Alexandra (5044 metres), while one of the smaller peaks in the range, Luigi de Savoia (4627 metres) was christened by Abruzzi after himself. The duke brought back a vast collection of maps, photographs and scientific observations' (Howgego III, A2).Accompanying the expedition was Filippo de Filippi, a trained medic and keen mountaineer who had already been part of the duke's mountaineering expedition to Alaska and would later accompany his unsuccessful assault on K2. Upon his return to Italy, Filippi published this, the official record of the expedition and its various scientific accomplishments and mountaineering exploits. Originally published in Italian (also 1908), the work was translated into English by Filippo's wife Caroline, an American poet (née Fitzgerald). The work is particularly notable for the more than 150 photographs by the Italian photographer Vittoro Sella, a member of the expedition: among these are several stunning large-scale folding panorama's depicting the snow-capped Rwenzori mountain range from the summits of some of its highest peaks.Howgego IV, F11; Neate 265.
