Show moreCollection of views of Palestine and Lebanon by the British politician, writer, traveller and patron of the arts Francis Egerton, Earl of Ellesmere (1800-57). The attribution of these plates is established by a note in the British Library copy, which also contains a letter from Egerton referring to "my lithographs", which he obviously presented as gifts to friends. The first plate alone is signed: "F. E. del.t. G. Hawkins Lith.". Lord and Lady Francis spent the winter and spring of 1839-40 travelling in the Mediterranean, mostly aboard Lord Francis's own yacht. Lady Francis (Harriet Catherine née Greville, a great-great-granddaughter of the 5th Baron Brooke) published her account of the tour in 1841 (Abbey Travel, no. 384), containing four lithographs, two of which are reproduced in the present collection in larger size. The date is taken from the date of presentation (1846) in the BL copy. Title from item, date devised by Library staff. 13 tinted lithographed plates, including 7 proofs before letters and some with printed captions, first plate signed 'F. E. del., G. Hawkins lith'. Modern half red morocco gilt, green marbled boards, red morocco title label on front cover. Main Heritage Compact General HC.GM.2013.0012 2-D Graphic Item-ID: i22645263 BIB-ID: 2409061 Show less
