Touring in Southern Rhodesia.

Folding pamphlet. Text in English. Illustrated throughout with b&w photographs, including a long birds-eye panoramic photo view of Umtali and a detailed map of the region around Umtali in southern Rhodesia.

Due to the ephemeral nature of the item, almost certainly an uncommon random survival. Great art deco graphic automobile cover reminiscent of poster art of the era.

Publisher's pictorial paper wrappers. A large single sheet, multi-folded over, then into 4 panels printed on both sides.

Item is old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition.

Paper covers age worn, slight rubbing, remains overall clean and attractive as a fragile survival.

Text block paper is toned, signs of handling, small scattered spotting, internally still well preserved, tight, sound.

Still attractive on the shelf. The scarce pamphlet displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this early 20th century African travel item survives.
