1846 The Crescent and the Cross; or, Romance and Realities of Eastern Travel

Description

Illustrated, Leather Binding, Signed Binding

First published in 1844, the work recounts the author's experiences travelling in Greece, Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, written at a time where interest in the East was rising in England. 

Illustrated with a tinted lithographic frontispiece to each volume, and a total of thirteen further vignette illustrations. Collated, complete.

In signed half morocco bindings from J. Carss & Co. of Glasgow.

The travels documented in this work were undertaken in 1843, initially published as a series of articles in the Dublin University Magazine. The editor of the magazine, Charles Lever, persuaded Warburton to gather them into a book.
