Worn, but a very attractively presented example of an important work by female Icelandic explorer, Ida Pfeiffer. 

Pfeiffer, Ida. Visit to Iceland and the Scandinavian North. Translated from the German of Madama Ida Pfeiffer. With Numerous Explanatory Notes and Eight Tinted Engravings. To which are added an Essay on Icelandic Poetry, from the French of M. Bergmann; a Translation of the Icelandic Poem the Voluspa; and a Brief Sketch of Icelandic History. London. Ingram, Cooke, and Co. 1853. Second Edition. 353pp.

Good, attractive and stable, but rubbed at extremities as shown. A bit tender at prelims with first signature quite shaken. An unusually attractive example.
