The Holy Land, Egypt, Constantinople, Athens. etc. With descriptive Text...by W.M.Thompson. London, Day & Son. (1866). 4°. Mit 48 aufkasch. Orig.-Photogr. v. Bedford. VIII, 99 S. Olwd. mit Goldpräg., Rverg. u. Goldschn. (Gelockert, tls. berieb. u. best.).
Gernsheim 366. Howe, 115-118. Vaczek & Buckland, 137, 169. See Gernsheim 187; 292. - First edition of Bedford's splendid 19th-century photobook with 48 vintage albumen prints of the Prince of Wales' 1862 royal tour to Egypt, Athens and the Middle East, each 4 by 5-inch vintage print mounted on individual leaves, featuring many exceptional views including images of the pyramids, the Parthenon, Jerusalem, and the Sphinx-capturing "the mystery of the sublime. - The 48 photographs that appeared in the 1866 quarto volume consisted of ten images from Egypt; 25 from the Holy Land; one from Damascus; four from Lebanon (three of Baalbek); one of the island of Patmos; three of Istanbul; and four of Athens. The first photograph in the book was a group portrait taken in front of the pyramids at Giza, while the remaining nine images from Egypt were of architecture. The 25 images from the Holy Land can be further subdivided: of the 11 images from Jerusalem, seven are of architectural features (three images are from the Haram al-Sharif) and four are of landscape; whereas in the remaining 14 images, six are landscapes, five are townscapes, and one image is of an object (a Samaritan Pentateuch scroll). The book's appearance by at least late 1866 suggests that it was issued as the folio series neared completion; in fact, it was expressly described as a cheaper alternative. - ls. gelockert u. lose, etw. gebräunt u. stockfl.
