<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 2445520, member: 33&quot;]Welcome to Antiquers, [USER=15849]@Fran Skelhorn[/USER] . I have a question and a comment, although this needs more investigation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The question: Is the text of this book in German? I ask because there is a German publisher listed on the title page and it says &quot;The Right of Translation is Reserved.&quot; The first edition of this book was published in English by Samson Low in 1874, the same year on the title page of yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the comment -- I&#039;m not sure how to make sense of what is written at the bottom of the spine of the book. It appears to say &quot;C. Kirsinger &amp; Co. / Valparaiso.&quot; According to an excellent site for information about postcards, they were &quot;Important publishers of view-cards depicting scenes in Chile. They were printed in black &amp; white and tinted collotypes with an extra blue plate. <b>This firm also had branches in Valparaiso and Concepcion.</b>&quot; <a href="http://www.metropostcard.com/publishersk.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.metropostcard.com/publishersk.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.metropostcard.com/publishersk.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So the Valparaiso mentioned on the spine is the one in Chile. I&#039;m trying to figure out why this would have one German publisher on the title page and a publisher from Chile on the spine. Do you have any information that could help with that?</p><p><br /></p><p>I found this copy of the Tauchnitz / Leipzig edition for sale via abebooks: <a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22392591507&amp;searchurl=pn%3Dtauchnitz%26bi%3D0%26ds%3D30%26bx%3Doff%26sortby%3D17%26tn%3DHarry%2Bheathcote%26an%3DTrollope%26recentlyadded%3Dall&amp;cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22392591507&amp;searchurl=pn%3Dtauchnitz%26bi%3D0%26ds%3D30%26bx%3Doff%26sortby%3D17%26tn%3DHarry%2Bheathcote%26an%3DTrollope%26recentlyadded%3Dall&amp;cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title1" rel="nofollow">https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22392591507&amp;searchurl=pn=tauchnitz&amp;bi=0&amp;ds=30&amp;bx=off&amp;sortby=17&amp;tn=Harry+heathcote&amp;an=Trollope&amp;recentlyadded=all&amp;cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Please note that this is an asking price. Nobody has bought the book at that price. Also, it appears to have a completely different cover than yours does.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope somebody can help with better information![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
