Title:

Egypt, Sinai and Palestine. By F. Frith. Supplementary volume. Photographer(s): Frith, Francis

Scope & Content:

Imprint: William Mackenzie. Paternoster Row, London and Glasgow & Edinburgh [n.d. 1863].

Blue folio buckram volume (modern binding, dated 31 Mar 1978), measuring 430 x 318 mm, and containing 16 albumen print views of Cairo, Giza and Dahshur, with descriptive letterpress. The work, originally published in two parts and containing a total of 37 photographs, is here incomplete, lacking the second volume containing plates 17-37 (views at Thebes, Philae, Baalbek, Sinai, Jerusalem and Damascus). This first part does, however, contain the full list of plates. Pressmarks Wf1/4620, 4621, 4622, 4624 and 4625 are an incomplete set of Frith's 'Egypt, Palestine and Nubia,' a four-volume work issued in eight parts in 1863, under the following titles: vol. I, 'Sinai and Palestine,' vol. II, 'Lower Egypt, Thebes and the Pyramids,' vol. III, 'Upper Egypt and Ethiopia,' vol. IV, 'Egypt, Sinai and Palestine. Supplementary volume.' The present set lacks vol. I part 1, vol. III part 2, vol. IV part 2. A copy of the complete letterpress of vol. III, lacking the photographs, can be found at Af962*3*DSC.
