“The Antiquities of Athens and other Monuments of Greece as measured and delineated by James Stuart… and Nicholas Revett… Seventy-one plates”, London, Henry G. Bohn, 1858. Small 8vo, pp. viii, 149, [2].

Scarce portable guide of the Antiquities of Greece based on the monumental Stuart & Revett’s work. Complete including 71 numbered plates (many folding). This early archaeological guide was designed for the travelers of the newly independent Greece. It was firstly issued in 1837 in English and is based on a similar edition in 1835 in French (Nolau M., “Les antiquites d Athenes et autres monuments Grecs…”).

Finely blind-stamped contemporary cloth boards & spine, light and just occasional spotting inside. Very fine condition.

Scarce early archaeological travel guide.
