What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Early Edition, Folding Plates, Illustrated, Leather Binding, Rebound
The single volume second edition of this work, bound in two volumes.

Illustrated with a folding frontispiece and one further plate, both of which are hand-coloured lithographs. Collated, complete.
Kinglake blends travel narrative with social commentary and vivid descriptions of Eastern landscapes and customs, reflecting the attitudes of an upper-class Englishman of the period.
