Although published separately, these works are often found bound together; probably the short text of the Caramania volume allied to the fact that both works have only 24 plates each, meant that one decent sized volume could be produced by combining them.

Mayer made the illustrations when employed as the personal view painter for Sir Robert Ainslie, British ambassador at Constantinople from 1776-92. The scenes here are quite memorable, not only for the impressive views of ancient monuments, but for their glimpses in to the lives and culture of the people.

First editions; 2 works in 1, folio (47 x 34 cm); in total 48 coloured aquatint plates, tissue guards, armorial bookplate to front free endpaper, occasional marginal finger mark; twentieth-century quarter red morocco, purple cloth boards, gilt lettering to spine in six compartments, a very good copy; [ii], 47, [1]; [iv], 40 pp.

Atabey 787, 788; Blackmer 1098, 1099; Abbey Travel 369; Gay 2145 and Tobler p.228 for Palestine; Colas 2020, 2021.
