About this Item
First Edition, reissued. With 75 very beautiful colour-plates after paintings by R. Talbot Kelly. Tall 8vo, publisher s original blue cloth, lettered and decorated all-over the upper cover and spine in a stylized Egyptian motif in gilt, green and orange, t.e.g. xiii, 246 pp. A pleasing and handsome copy of this fine A & C Black production, the cloth is bright, the gilt lettering and bright decoration all vivid and well preserved, the text-block and plates all fine but for some very light scattered foxing as is almost always the case, a bit more to the endleaves, minimal wear or evidence of age. A nice copy of this elusive book. A PLEASING COPY. One of A. & C. Black s finest illustrated travel books. The 75 colour-plates and accompanying text vividly express an Englishman s views and impressions of this fascinating nation at the turn of the Twentieth Century. A contemporary review from The Spector said, "This is beyond question the most beautiful book of modern Egypt that we have ever seen." It is now a century later, and the same could easily be said today. Seller Inventory # 33617
