From London to Bokhara and a ride through Persia By Colonel Augustus le Messurier

Цитата:
A scarce and fascinating copy of the memoir of the travels of Colonel Augustus le Messurier, author of 'Kandahard in 1879', 'The Game, Shore and Water of India'.
13 plates and 4 plan sections, 3 maps - two of which are in facsimile
In the prologue Messurier writes about travel writing and the Memoirs of fellow travellers: 'In dwelling so long on the particulars of places visited, it is to endorse the fact that there is an interest and a knowledge beyond the mere entry of a name on a map which a traveller only can realize'.
Includes plates and maps throughout; 'The maps and sections have been reproduced by Colonel Waterhouse, of the Survey of India; and the sketches have been redrawn by Mr. Jobbings, the superintendant of the School of Art, Calcutta'.
