This is a beautifully illustrated, antique copy of "PALESTINE ILLUSTRATED" by Sir Richard Temple. 1888 1st edition; W.H. Allen & Co.; London. The book is wonderfully illustrated by Temple with 32 full-page color plates (each with a tissue guard), two full-page lithographs, and four full-page maps (one map spans two pages) - all plates, lithographs, and maps are present. Gilt top page edges. The book is a 19th-century travelogue and historical description of the Holy Land based on the author's personal travels through the region in 1883. It serves as both a geographical record and an artistic study of the landscape. The book documents a specific tour route taken by Temple, moving sequentially through major historical and biblical locations. It provides architectural, geographical, and cultural descriptions of major cities and towns, natural landmarks, and biblical antiquities.
