The traveller and archaeologist Sir Charles Fellows (1799-1860)
made several trips through Asia Minor. This work is an account of
the first of these, recording his careful observations of the lands
he travelled through. On this trip, he found ancient cities which
were unknown to Europeans at that time, including Xanthos, the
capital of ancient Lycia, dating from the fifth century BCE.
Fellows' narrative brings the journey to life with vivid
descriptions of the people and places he encountered, and detailed
sketches of notable antiquities and inscriptions. First published
in 1839, this work generated significant interest, fuelling the
British Museum's eagerness to acquire antiquities from the region.
Fellows was later knighted for his role in these acquisitions,
though controversy surrounds their removal. Two of his later works,
An Account of Discoveries in Lycia (1841) and The Xanthian Marbles
(1843), are also reissued in this series.
