Stock Code 101326

London, Wertheim, Macintosh, and Hunt, 1862

The author, a Protestant missionary, visited Ethiopia in 1859 to spread Christianity among the Falashas, or Ethiopian Jews. He is the first traveller to describe several of these settlements. Also of interest are passages critical of Emperor Téwodros which led to Stern's subsequent detention. The author, who was the first traveller to take photographs in Ethiopia, illustrates his work with excellent engravings.

First edition. 8vo., viii, 322 pp., folding map frontispiece, 8 full-page wood-engraved plates, illustrations in text, original pebble-grained blue cloth gilt, neat repair to lower joint, a very good example.
