FESTETICS, Rudolf gróf,
Emberevők között


(Count Festetics, Among Cannibals)

First Edition 1904
Second Edition 191?



The partial account of an eight year (1893-1901) voyage in the Pacific and Indian Oceans on board the yacht "Tolna". The account originally appeared in French, and was translated into Hungarian by Bella Sárosi. Like all early titles, the first edition must have appeared simultaneously in Picture cover and Classic I. roman numeral binding versions, but only the latter is known at present. The second edition, without a roman series volume number on the half title is known in Picture cover, Classic I. scaled and plain Classic 1. variants, all having the same interior with 55 photos dispersed amonng the text and one map, no plates. It appears that the last Classic I. version appeared around 1926, and the half-cloth Picture cover version was also produced in the early twenties.
