Ett år i stilla hafvet reseminnen från Patagonien, Chili, Peru, Californien, Britiska Columbia och Oceanien

Stockholm: Lith. Art. Anstalt, 1872. FIRST EDITION. With 12 tinted lithograph plates. Original printed and decorated boards, rebacked, new endpapers; boards worn and rubbed with minor tears, some leaves toned due to paper stock, but generally a good copy. First edition. This is the account of the 1867-1868 Pacific voyage by a Swedish officer on the HMS Zealous, which sailed up the coast of South America to Canada, with a side visit to the Hawaiian islands. Fascinating details of travel in Patagonia, Chile and Peru in South America, California, Pacific islands in Hawaii and Tahiti, and up to British Columbia are provided, though in Swedish. The plates, from photographs taken on the journey, illustrate Hawaii as well as the royal family, including Kamehameha IV and V, and the Tahitian monarch Queen Pomare. A significant work for the Pacific voyages enthusiast.
