Notes: A wonderful inscribed and signed copy of this important travelogue and ethnological book written by Walter Edward Guinness, 1st Baron Moyne (Lord Moyne) and published in 1936 by William Heinemann. The book details an extensive maritime expedition undertaken by Lord Moyne between November 1935 and April 1936 aboard his private luxury yacht, the MY Rosaura. Lord Moyne was assassinated in Cairo in 1944, thus signed copies are exceptionally rare.
