SCHMEISSER, Karl
The Gold-fields of Australasia.
Macmillan, London, 1898. Octavo, illustrations; text volume and folder of maps in publisher's red buckram, gilt; in fine condition. First edition: an attractive author's presentation copy of a rare and desirable goldfields work. Schmeisser, a German geologist, visited Australasia in 1895 to report on the goldfields and was employed by the London and Western Australian Investment Company. His subsequent publications - first Berlin, 1897 - and this work, are the result of twelve months on-the-spot research, and are considered to be among the most comprehensive studies of the goldfields done in the nineteenth century. The separate portfolio contains thirteen folding lithographic charts and plans.
