British Library H gel, Karl Alexander; Jervis, T. B.; 1845. xvi,
423, 1] p.: ill., port.; 25 cm. V 2356
Written by Austrian baron Karl Alexander Anselm von Hugel
(1795-1870), this travelogue was one of the first western books
published on the Kashmir region. Von Hugel, who worked as a
soldier, diplomat, botanist, explorer and ethnologist at various
stages in his life, embarked on a trip to India in the 1830s as
part of an extensive world tour. His account of his time in Kashmir
and the Punjab was first published in German as a four-volume
edition from 1840. He aimed to 'lift the veil' on Kashmir in an
attempt to resolve the contentious reputation among Europeans of
this unfamiliar region, and the book serves as a thorough guide to
its history, geography, climate, culture and politics. This English
translation and abridgement was prepared by Thomas Best Jervis
(1796-1857) and published in 1845. Also included in this reissue is
a biography that the author's son, Anatole von Hugel, privately
published in 1903.
