A propos de cet article

Ninth edition - published in 1897 in The Story of the Nations series. Illustrated throughout with fifty black and white steel-engraved illustrations, including a frontispiece showing: Great Hall of Columns at Karnak, and with a folding Map of Egypt at the fore. With interesting Egypt-related ephemera loosely enclosed in the book - kept in place where found at various pages (please see scans). ***Very good in dark green decorative cloth-covered boards, with pictorial front board and spine with gilt titles to the spine and front board. The boards are clean, just showing some rubbing and marks commensurate with age and handling over the past 125+ years - in particular, with rubbing to the head and tail of the spine and the corner tips. Edges of boards slightly rubbed. Although the page block is heavy, with the quality paper used, the binding is secure, with no external splitting or tears to the cloth. Internally also very good, with generally clean and undamaged pages. No shaken or loose gatherings - just very slight splitting to a couple of gatherings at the gutter. There is some offsetting to the endpapers, and there are some ink inscriptions to the front pastedown and free endpaper: 'This book was in the library of Mr John Hunter of Bearsden, Glasgow (died 1928). Another name in blue fountain pen ink to top of front free endpaper and a red initial: J. White. Small name and address label to bottom of front pastedown: John White, Lincoln (please see scans). Red ink handwritten publication date '1897' added to the bottom of the title-page, underneath the printed dated which is in Roman numerals: MDCCCXCVII. Occasional foxing spots in the margins. Some creasing to p.191/2 (please see scans). ***Loosely inserted and left in situ (can be removed if so wished are some interesting items of related ephemera, from a holiday cruise to Egypt used as bookmarks, a boarding pass, Luxor museum ticket, a letter to the owner and his wife from a friend from 1992, Hayes and Jarvis Queen Isis Nile Cruise, Giza Pyramid pass. Internal pages clean. Folding map undamaged. ***202mm x 138mm. xixi prelim pages including list of contents and illustrations plus 408 pages including double-page map of The Fayoum showing the Birket-el-Keroun and the artificial lake 'Moeris' and index at the back of the book. ***Contents: The Land of Egypt; The People of Egypt; The Dawn of History; The Pyramid Builders; The Rise of Thebes to Power, and the Early Theban tribes; The Good Amenemhat and his Works; Abraham in Egypt; The Great Invasion - The Hyksos or Shepherd Kings - Joseph and Apepi; How the Hyksos were Expelled from Egypt; The First Great Warrior King, Thothmes I; Queen Hatasu and her Merchant Fleet; Thothmes the Third and Amenhotep the Second; Amen-Hotep III and his Great Works - the Vocal Memnon; Khuenaten and the Disk-Worshippers; Beginning of the Decline of Egypt; Menephthah I, The Pharaoh of the Exodus; The Decline of Egypt under the later Ramessides; The Priest-Kings - Pinetem and Solomon; Shishak and his Dynasty; The Land Shadowing with Wings - Egypt under the Ethiopians; The Fight over the carcase - Ethiopia v.
