[Algeria] Reis naar Algiers, en Verblijf bij het Fransche Leger in 1845,

door [F.] van Gheel Gildemeester (...). Naar des schrijvers brieven en dagboeken bew. door F.W. von Mauvillon. Gouda, G.B. van Goor, 1847, VI,X,200 p., with lithographed title and folding map, contemporary gilt half leather.

Vaguely waterstained throughout the entire bookblock (title worse); map torn in fold; hinges fragile. With blindstamped ex libris of Herbarium K. Meijer on the title page. Rare travel account with much attention for interesting etnographical and local cultural details. Also of importance for our view of the French colonisation of North Africa and its consequences, working their influence even today.
