Some notes and marking in pencil, foxing and fading on somewhat stained paper, slight chipping on extremities and made a cover inside by an original period diploma. Overall a fair/good copy. Scarce first Turkish edition of this first hand travel account of Mumbai, by a French journalist Edmond Cotteau during his travel to India in 1878-1879 describing the city, its inhabitants, flora and fauna, and architectural buildings. "Küçük Seyahâtler" [i.e. Small Travels] is a book series including travel accounts at the beginning of the 20th century in the Ottoman/Turkish literature, which consisted of four separately published titles: China, Afghanistan, Chicago and Mumbai. Cotteau was a French journalist and photographer. He became a collaborator for "Le Temps" and "Le Tour du monde" taking photographs of a rare quality for his time. He traveled to the Americas in 1876-1877, India in 1878-1879, Central Europe, Japan and returned to China and Indochina in 1881-1882. He sailed around the world in 1883-1884, in 364 days, widely covered by the French press. Özege 2513.; TBTK 6678.; OCLC 223157027, 1122689017.
