Spirit of Borneo: Martin & Osa Johnson's Journey 1928 & 1935
Hollywood's First Historic Glimpse
 
Explore the excitement of British North Borneo in this stunning limited edition coffee table book.
 
Specially commissioned by the Sabah State Government and gifted to dignitaries such as The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge, this is the first coffee table book to reproduce in high definition hundreds of photographs from the renowned Martin Johnson’s safaris and explorations of Borneo in 1920 and 1935.
 
Originally limited to only 3,000 copies, permission was granted by the Martin & Osa Johnson Safari Museum in Kansas to print 1,000 for public sale.
 
Copies are very difficult to acquire as the majority have been reserved as VIP gifts and presented to the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge, and President Barack H. Obama at the White House.
 
Review by Discovery Networks, Asia Pacific: “Borneo is one of the world’s most fascinating and stunning destinations. It has a tremendous pull for film-makers and adventurers and it’s no surprise that at Discovery we have featured many aspects of this wonderful place.
 
What is so special about Martin & Osa Johnson’s  Spirit of Borneo: The Journey 1920 & 1935, is that it not only provides a stunning visual perspective of Borneo in the early part of the last century, but also an amazing insight into documentary film-making in that era.”
 
Spirit of Borneo was gifted by Chief Minister Musa Aman to The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate on 14th Sep, 2012; and by Catherine Jayasuriya and son to President Barack H. Obama at the White House.
