Workman, Fanny Bullock; Workman, William Hunter

Algerian Memories, A Bicycle Tour Over the Atlas to the Sahara

New York: Anson D.F. Randolph.

First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Undated, but 1895 according to Robinson. pp. xiv, [2], 216, with illustrations from photographs, errata slip tipped in. Original blue cloth, with some light soiling to the front board, spine toned but legible. The Workmans were wealthy, zealous, and energetic explorers, now best known for their many expeditions to the Himalayas.
