1903, London, Isbister and Company Ltd., first edition, ppxv + 477, black and white illustrations, green cloth, gilt lettering. Interesting travel book with photographs taken by the author. "All the pictures . were taken on the spot and at the moment, often under very disadvantageous circumstances of lighting and environment. By no means the finest photographs, technically, have been chosen, but solely those which illustrate the text. Whatever other merit these may lack, the little pictures reproduced here show Spain of to-day, especially in its wilder parts, with some variety and fulness. Finally . I should put it on record that all the photographs were taken with a half-plate hand camera, specially designed and manufactured for my purpose by Messrs. Newman & Guardia, of 92 Shaftesbury Avenue, London. Battered on many a mule-back, dumped into casual streams, roughly mended with wire and string, twice apprehended and incarcerated for high treason by officers of the law, explored in my absence by hands unskilful, maltreated in every possible way, this instrument remains at the close of seven years a war-worn veteran indeed, but not a whit the worse for any practical purpose. And as, most deservedly, it has my confidence, so also has it my affection. Two thousand five hundred miles have I carried it, with mine own hand or upon mine own back, through the burden and heat of a Spanish sun. Ill day and good day it has gathered memories for me, and I were the worst of ingrates did I not acknowledge it".…
