An Organ for the Sultan
by Mayes, Stanley
- Used
- first
London: Putnam, 1956. 272p., a dozen or so period illustrations on inserted coated leaves, hardbound first edition in blue-grey boards gilt. Lacks the jacket, spine panel is sunned to pale grey, mild handling external signs, two differing double-spread maps for endsheets, clean and unmarked within, a good (good-only) copy. This diary of a voyage with organ-console materiel and organ-maker and diarist Dallam completed its mission (get the Sultan a pipe-organ for his harem quarters) in the year 1600, slightly too late to be included in Hakluyt's Principal Navigations, and was neglected for a century.
