Sobre este artículo
London: Murray, 1873. Book. Illus. by 11 Maps and 29 Plans, 7 Views, complete. Good. Cloth. 4th Edition. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Limp red cloth in imitation of the German Baedeker guides. John Murray was the leading publisher of travel books in English at this time. The 1872 advertisements are interesting, but 30 pages have been torn out in the middle of the adverts. This is a thorough revision of the first editions by the leading Arabist, Sir Gardner Wilkinson. Solid and clean inside. The Binding has some rubs, and a split is starting along the front hinge cloth, but is protected from further damage by a clear, mylar dust jacket. I would not want to visit Egypt today without this thorough 19th Century guide , to compare the changes. .
