    Description

    Colour Plates, Folding Maps, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    The work of English architect and traveller Thomas Witlam Atkinson. Between 1847 and 1853 he travelled over forty thousand miles through Central Asia and Siberia, much of the time with his wife Lucy and son, who was born during their travels.

    Illustrated with a chromolithographic frontispiece, three further chromolithographic plates, and sixteen tinted lithographs. With a folding lithographic map loosely inserted to the rear.

    Collated, complete.
