Contact seller3-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition, Illustrated Edition. From Antipodean: New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1881; 1883. First American edition. Hardcover. Complete in two volumes the sumptuously illustrated work with 42 stunning steel engravings, all very bright and clean. Account of the history, geography and archeol…ogy of nations in the eastern Mediterranean, with observations on Christian, Jewish and Muslim culture. The engravings on steel and wood are from original drawings by Harry Fenn and J. D. Woodward. Text by eleven renowned British explorers and scholars covering Palestine, Egypt and Arabia. Includes chapters by Mary Eliza Rogers, noted Victorian travel writer who traveled with her brother Thomas of the British diplomatic service and wrote 'Domestic Life in Palestine' published in 1860. Three chapters of observations here by her, including: 'Acre, the Key of Palestine'; Mount Carmel and the River Kishon'; 'Maritime Cities and Plains of Palestine'; Mount Hor and the Cliffs of Edom; and The Convent of St. Catherine. These first American editions feature embossed front and back covers and gold lit on the edges of the pages and in embossed title. Covers show wear in the form of rubs on the spines and corners. Boards are flat and parallel and binding is square and tight. These volumns would be in very good condition if not for foxing on both and light water damage on volumn II. None of the engraved pages appear to have any water damage, though foxing is evident on most of the plates. For students of Middle East history and culture, these volumns are excellent references for what the Middle East looked like at the turn of the 20th century. Because these volumns are in such good condition they would make a great addition to any historian's library. These first American editions in excellent condition have sold as high as $4500. Due to their size and weight there will be an upcharge for shipping at point of sale. Engravings by Harry Fenn and T. D. Woodward (illustrator).
