Gertrude Bell's scarce chronicle of her 1905 journey from Jericho to Antioch, copiously illustrated with original photographs. A perilous venture through what was then a province of the Ottoman Empire undergoing major upheaval, and one of her earliest works before her close associations with Iraq and its independence. Complete with the map, which is frequently lacking.

First edition, second impression; 8vo (23 x 16 cm); colour frontispiece and 161 photographic illustrations, many of which plates, large folding map of Syria in rear pocket; publisher's sand cloth with motif to upper board, spine lettered in gilt, spine slightly darkened, little rubbing to extremities; xvi, 347 pp.

Robinson (Wayward Women), p4.
