About This Item
London, Hildesheimer & Faulkner, (1870-1878).. Hardcover. .. Royal quarto. Pp. 71, plus 24 chromolithograph plates, mounted on card and protected with tissue-guards. Plus frontispiece map. With 2 text figures. HARDCOVER, bound in original publisher's full cloth extra, richly decorated. A fine copy with just few minor blemishes. ~ First English edition. Karl Friedrich Heinrich Werner (1808-1894). Born and trained in Germany, Werner traveled extensively in Egypt and Palestine and produced there many splendid watercolours. The plates in this book are pantographic copies from the original watercolours, traced by mechanical means from the original. This method, however, could not reproduce the fine colouring which was done separately. The plates are accompanied by descriptive texts written mostly by Alfred Brehm (1829-1884) and Johannes Dümichen (1833-1894); both also wrote the preface. FTV
