Description

Middle East - TAMISIER (Maurice). Trip to Arabia. Stay in the Hedjaz. - Campaign of Assir. Accompanied by a map. Paris, Louis Desessart, 1840. 2 volumes in one large vol. in-8, speckled fawn half-calf, smooth spine decorated with gilt fillets, green title page (modern binding). Original edition with fold-out map. Victor Tamisier (1810-1875) accompanied Edmond Combes on his great Saint-Simonian exploration of the Red Sea (Abyssinia, Yemen, Aden, February 11, 1835 - March 13, 1837). The Voyage en Abyssinie (Paris, 1838, 4 volumes) is the result of this journey. After this expedition, he lost interest in Africa; but, no doubt urged on by his publisher, he agreed to complete his first account with the story of a stay in Arabia, from December 9, 1833 to September 26, 1834, as secretary to the chief physician of the Egyptian troops, making him one of the very few Western observers of the second Saudi kingdom (1834-1891), founded by Turki ben Abdallah al-Saoud. The planned sequel (Retour de la Campagne d'Assir) never appeared (Gay, 3608.) A good copy.
