Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1898. First Edition. Octavo. xii, 362 pages, [32 leaves of plates] with the folded map. Ella Sykes accompanied her brother Captain Molesworth Sykes who had been asked by the Foreign Office to found a consulate in Kerman and Baluchistan. She writes in the preface: "As I believe that I am the first European woman who has visited Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, my experiences may perhaps interest other women who feel the 'Wanderlust' but are unable to gratify their longing for adventure. She traveled across the Caspian Sea to Tehran, rode to Kerman, then a year later crossed the deserts of British Buchistan to Quetta, thus, she was the first woman to ride from the Caspian Sea ending up in India. Bound in dark green cloth pictorially stamped in gilt to lower corner, spine lettering gilt, corners lightly bumped, some scattered foxing. A very scarce work especially with the original folded map. Issued in a small print run, it was reissued in a smaller edition with 46 fewer pages in 1901.
