Lowndes p. 2747. Hilmy I, p. 38. Brunet V, 1034; 138; Mendelssohn 1, 73) First edition. The Right Honourable George Annesley, better known as Lord Valentia, the title from his youth, Annesley, travelled widely and collected plants from India and other parts of the world he visited. He established a ten-acre arboretum in the grounds of Arley Castle, Upper Arley, Worcestershire, England in the first half of the 19th century. He also commissioned the remodeling of the house into an asymmetrical Gothic castle, completed in 1844, the year of his death. Annesley died, aged seventy four in 1844. He was a fellow of the Royal Society (1796) and the Literary Society (1796). In 1802 Henry Salt was appointed secretary and draughtsman to George Annesley, Viscount Valentia. They started on an eastern tour, traveling on Minerva to India via the Cape. Salt explored the Red Sea area, and in 1805 visited the Ethiopian highlands. He returned to England in 1806. Salt's paintings from the trip were used to illustrate the Lord Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India, Ceylon, the Red Sea, Abyssinia and Egypt, in the years 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805, and 1806, published in 1809 in three volumes.

First edition, 3 volumes, 4to (31.5 x 25.5 cm.), large paper copy, half-titles, 3 engraved vignettes, 69 engraved plates and maps, 11 double-page or folding, plate list at beginning of volume 1, advertisement leaf at end of volume 3, modern half calf gilt, a fine clean set. 8000 George Annesley, Viscount Valentia, was probably the first European traveller in Ethiopia in the nineteenth century. Valentia left England in June 1802 on the Minerva, for a Grand Tour of the East with Henry Salt. They were both antiquarians and avid collectors. Salt had earlier finished his training with the topographical draughtsman and diarist, Joseph Farington, and Valentia appointed him to be his official artist and secretary for the tour. The first volume deals with India and Sri Lanka - with sections on Benares, Calcutta, Lucknow, Ceylon, etc. - the second two volumes cover Abyssinia and the Red Sea, including much relating to Mocha. 'Salt's work is notable not only because it continues the picturesque tradition, but also because by collecting views from different areas of the East he helped to visually reinforce the distinction between East and West. This polarization reflects the Orientalist-thinking of the time. Salt used the picturesque to conjure a vision of the East. He included elements of "exoticness" such elephants and camels and unfamiliar foliage and vegetation. He also focused on the representation of numerous architectural ruins and religious buildings that seemed so foreign to a Western audience. While the construction of the landscape adhered to a Western tradition of painting, the content of his images was meant to showcase the diversity of the East for the purposes of Annesley's displays back home.'
