Show moreMost of the photographs are pictures of an album related to Prince Muhammad Ali of Egypt (r. 1805-1848) Manial Palace. The album was part of the collection of Dr. Branch's and photographs were probably taken by Carl Raswan. Dr. Branch was a Scottish Veterinarian, contemporary of Lady Anne Blunt (1837-1917), who was running the Royal Agricultural Society; created In 1908 by the government of Egypt, the institution was intended to preserve the Egyptian Arabian horse.

He authored numerous books on Arabian horses and the Bedouin people who raised them, but he is especially renowned for Raswan Index, an extensive compilation of Arabian horse pedigree and strain information. Title from item, date devised by Library staff. The album also includes a 3-pages typescript note related to Muhammad Ali's horses and 9-pages article by Carl Raswan titled Feysul's Mare, the Jallabiyah, published in the January-February 1945 issue of the Western Horseman (available online http://www.geocities.ws/Heartland/Ranch/5385/TheJallabiyahPartIWHJF45.html).

Maj:ts ; befallning utgifven af Carl Linnæus. First edition of an important contribution to Middle Eastern natural history and an interesting travelogue "which for its originality as well as accuracy, and variety of information, must always rank high among books of travel" (Pulteney). The book opens with a biographical preface by Linnaeus ("so admirable a travel journal has never before appeared"), followed by an account of Hasselquist's journey to the Middle East, first from Smyrna to Cairo, with a description of the caravans going to Mecca, then to the Holy Land, where he visited Jerusalem, Jericho, Bethlehem, etc. Heading home he travelled to Cyprus, Rhodes and back to Smyrna, where he died in 1752 at the age of 30. The main text is in Swedish, but part two, with its own part-title (Descriptiones Rerum Naturalium Praestantiorum confectae in itinere orientali, imprimis per Aegyptum & Palaestinam ) is primarily in Latin and provides almost 400 pages of descriptions of flora and fauna in Egypt and Palestine, including sections on natural history, birds, animals, plants, geology, fish, a large section on "materia medica" and another on the commerce of the area. The last part contains Hasselquist's letters to Linnaeus. - Hasselquist was one of Linnaeus's most promising pupils. After his untimely death the manuscript and a rich collection of specimens were ultimately bought by Queen Luisa of Sweden and handed over to Linnaeus, who saw the book through the press. Within 15 years of its original publication in Swedish it had been translated into German, French, English and Dutch. A very good copy, with only a marginal inkstain on pp. 1-65, not approaching the text. Binding rubbed. First edition of an important travel account making original contributions to natural history. Sibnatures: )( 8 A-2O 8 2P 4. Includes a biographical account of the author by C. Linné ; "Doct. Hasselquists bref ... til ... C. Linnæus": p. 569-619.
