London: William Heinemann. Good with no dust jacket. 1907. First U.K. Edition. Hardcover. "Gertrude Bell (1868 - 1926) was an English writer and archaeologist who spent much of her life exploring and mapping the Middle East. Here she vividly describes and photographs her 1905 trip to Greater Syria including Damascus, Jerusalem, Beirut, Antioch, Alexandretta, and the lands of the Druze and of the Bedouin." - Wikipedia. xvi, 347 pp. Index. Over 150 high-resolution glossy black and white photos. Tissue-protected colour frontispiece. Lacking fold-out map. Average wear to to original tan cloth which is lettered in gilt on backstrip and decorated and lettered in brown on front board. No markings found. Inner joints recently professionally tightened. Several narrow openings in binding, per our photo, otherwise a worthy example of this fascinating and informative account. ; Sm 4to .
