SVEN ANDERS HEDIN
This catalogue documents one of the largest and most important
privately held collections of the published works by and materials
relating to the famed Swedish explorer, geographer, scientist, artist and
writer, Sven Anders Hedin (1865–1952).
The collection comprises over 400 volumes of Hedin’s major works,
including narratives of Hedin’s travels in Tibet, Ladakh, East Turkestan
(Xinjiang), Mongolia, Persia and other regions, as well as more than
200 secondary works. The collection also includes Hedin’s main
scientific works, maps, political writings and prose. The collection
is distinguished by a number of first editions published in English,
German and Swedish. Many of the works are extremely rare.
The collection also holds bibliographical materials and correspondence
as well as selected Hediniana and ephemera. These include colourboard Kaffeekarten (“coffee card”) pictures, photographs, Chinese and
Swedish commemorative stamps, and original pen and ink drawings
by Hedin, several of which appear in the American edition of his
autobiography My Life as an Explorer.
The collection has been painstakingly assembled over several decades
by a well-known private European collector based in Asia. The
collection is maintained in Hong Kong under strict climate-controlled
conditions.
The collection is now being offered for sale as a whole through Serindia
Gallery. Please direct all inquiries to Shane Suvikapakornkul at email:

During four expeditions to Central Asia Hedin discovered the Transhimalaya (once
named the Hedin Range in his honour). Between 1905 and 1908 he investigated
the Central Persian desert basins, and the western highlands of Tibet and the
Transhimalaya. He visited the 9th Panchen Lama in the cloister city of Tashilhunpo
in Shigatse. Sven Hedin was the first European to reach the Kailash region, the
sacred Lake Manasarovar and the sacred Mount Kailash – the midpoint of the
earth according to Buddhist and Hindu mythology. The most important goal of the
expedition was the search for the sources of the Indus and Brahmaputra Rivers, both
of which Hedin found. (Sven Hedin, Albert Brockhaus: “Sven Hedin und Albert
Brockhaus. Eine Freundschaft in Briefen zwischen Autor und Verleger”. Leipzig, F.

Hedin became captivated by the Tarim Lake’s peripatetic movements and for 40
years his destiny was inextricably linked with that of this mysterious lake and the
region surrounding it. His last journey to Lop-nor was in 1934, just days after he
was released as a prisoner of General Ma Chung-ying (“Big Horse”, the rebel leader of Xinjiang). Travelling the length of the Konche-daria and Kum-daria rivers
by canoe, Hedin embarked on his last Central Asian expedition and proved what
he had always suspected – that the Lop-nor did indeed shift position – and why.
When he camped on its vast banks at night, the Lop-nor was deep and full.

Hedin’s Southern Tibet is a comprehensive conspectus of the history of the exploration of the region (extensively illustrated with facsimiles of earlier maps of the
area), prior to the author’s third expedition of 1906-1908. This expedition, in which
he crossed Persia to India, and from India covertly entered Tibet (despite British
opposition), resulted in the mapping of large, previously unknown areas, thus mak88
ing the work a magnificent summation of knowledge of the area to date. Volumes
I-II cover Lake Manasarovar and the sources of the great Indian rivers, Volume III
Transhimalaya, Volume IV Karakorum and Chang Tang, Volume V the petrography and geology of south-west Tibet, Volume VI the meteorological, astronomical
and botanical findings and observations, Volume VII the history of exploration in
the Karakorum Mountains, Volume VIII Chinese knowledge of Central Asia, Volume IX Eastern pamir. The volumes are richly illustrated with photographs and
drawings, many by Hedin, and complemented by the ‘Atlas of Tibetan Panoramas’
and the two volumes of maps which include H. Byström’s remarkable 52-sheet hypsometrical map, giving elevations based on Hedin’s panoramas. [ACLC I, p. 148;
