First edition. 8vo. pp. xiv,[2],1-344. Complete with all five engraved maps and plans, including the folding map, all correctly positioned within the text. Contemporary full calf, sympathetically re-backed preserving the original boards, spine with raised bands and morocco lettering piece. An attractive mid-Victorian scholarly binding with light general wear and rubbing consistent with age. Internally generally clean and sound with occasional light spotting and minor marking. A very good solid copy. An important nineteenth-century work on Greece and the Peloponnese by the Cambridge classicist William George Clark (1821–1878), Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge, later well known as co-editor of the celebrated Cambridge Shakespeare. Combining classical scholarship with first-hand travel observation, the work discusses the topography, archaeology, architecture, and historical geography of the Peloponnese at a period when modern classical archaeology was still in its formative stages. Clark travelled extensively through the region, recording contemporary conditions alongside detailed examinations of ancient sites including Sparta, Mycenae, Argos, Corinth, Arcadia, and Olympia. The work belongs to the important tradition of nineteenth-century British classical travel literature that bridged antiquarian scholarship and practical exploration.…
