LOWTH (GEORGE T.)
The Wanderer in Arabia; or, Western Footsteps in Eastern Tracks, 2 vol., FIRST EDITION, AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed "To Mr. Wyld with the author's best compliments" on the blank recto of the frontispiece in volume 1, 6 lithographed plates, 22 leaves of advertisements, yellow endpapers, publisher's pictorial cloth gilt (with "Leighton Son & Hodge" binder's label inside "), light soiling [Blackmer 1035; Weber I, 515], 8vo, Hurst and Blackett, 1855
Footnotes
An account of a journey made by Lowth and his wife between 1850 and 1851. Volume 1 is devoted to Egypt, whilst volume 2 describes Sinai, Palestine, Petra and Syria. The "Mr. Wyld" to whom this copy was presented by the author is presumably the artist or lithographer whose name appears beneath the plates. Surprisingly rare, with only one copy recorded on Rare Book Hub in the past fifteen years.
