71-3586 Trollope,A.
How the "Mastiffs" went to Iceland. London, Virtue 1878. 4°. Mit 1 farb. lithogr. Karte, 2 mont. Orig.-Photogr. u. 14 lithogr. Taf. nach Zeichnungen von Hugh Blackburn. 2 Bl., 46 S. Blauer Olwd. mit Goldpräg. u. Goldschn. (Ecken u. Kap. berieb. u. best.).
Fiske I, 609. Klose 687. Erste Ausgabe. - First Edition. This is the tale of Trollope's round-trip voyage from Scotland to Iceland, via the Féroe Islands, aboard the yacht "Mastiff," belonging to his long-time friend John Burns (later Lord Inverclyde), the chairman of the Cunard shipping line. (The passengers on board the "Mastiff" called themselves "the mastiffs" (hence the title.). There are two actual 1878 photographs (silver prints) - one of the ship at Reykjavik, and the other of the passengers (including Trollope) ashore on horseback. In addition there are many pencil-drawing illustrations by fellow passenger Mrs. Hugh Blackburn. In her memoir of the voyage she described Trollope as "a rough-spoken good sort of fellow; one wondered how he came to write such good novels." According to the text Trollope found the Icelandic countryside "curious but not beautiful," and Reykavik "a dear little town, pervaded by a flavour of fish." This was Trollope's last so-called "travel book" and is his most unusual one, being of such a large format. It was "never formally published" and "not issued for sale" (Sadleir); the book was actually privately printed for Burns, with 25 copies reserved for the author. Sehr seltener, nicht für den Handel bestimmter Privatdruck. - Etw. fleckig, Innengelenke etw. brüchig.
