Henze 5, p. 302. – The lawyer and diplomat Thielmann ‘[…] has described his travels – which, with a few minor exceptions, no longer explored uncharted geographical territory – in a knowledgeable and engaging manner, and not without a touch of humour, in two works that stand out prominently from the travel literature of his time.’ (Henze)
