Richthofen, Ferdinand Frhr. von: Vorlesungen über allgemeine Siedlungs- und Verkehrsgeographie. Edited and published by O. Schlüter. Berlin: D. Reimer 1908. 23,5 x 16 cm. With 4 plates in photolithography. 16, 351 pp. Original linen
(Worn and showing slight signs of wear. Some foxing at the beginning and end; slight browning due to the paper.)
The work was published posthumously, at the request of Richthofen’s pupils and students who had attended the lecture in 1891 and again in 1897/98. As this topic fell outside the scope of his other lectures, his students had expressed the wish during his lifetime to see it published. Dr Otto Schlüter edited it in keeping with the author’s intentions, though the bulk of the text had already been prepared by Richthofen as if it were intended for publication (see Preface). – Enclosed: 1) Baron Richthofen’s letters 1870–1872. Second edition. Shanghai: North-China Herald 1903. 2 leaves, 211 pp. Hardback with red edging / 2) Hedin, Sven: Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen. Reprinted from the Bulletin of the Geological Society of China, Vol. XII, No. 3, 1933. pp. (315) – 321. Paperback cover.
