A delightful artifact of the fascination with the Middle East that
gripped the Western intelligentsia in the early 20th century, this
charming 1907 work is a showcase for the lovely paintings of
renowned English artist WALTER TYRWHITT (1859-1932) of scenes in
the ancient cities of Cairo, Jerusalem, and Damascus. The
accompanying text, by English scholar DAVID SAMUEL MARGOLIOUTH
(1858-1940)-a professor of Arabic at Oxford University-is based on
original sources from the region and the works of other celebrated
historians, and serves as an enchanting primer to the history of
these storied cities. Hard to find in print today, this replica
edition makes a wonderful gift for fans of English art and armchair
travelers alike.
