In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. [3], iii, 115 pp., 66 figures in text, 8 plates hors text, 2 folding maps at rear, later cloth-backed boards, original wrappers laid down, light soiling to lower margin of title page, otherwise copy in very good condition, memoirs of the Archaeological Survey of India No 42, Governme…nt of India Central Publication Branch. One of 750 copies only. Sir Aurel Stein's work in North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan, includes archaeological tours, survey work and excavations carried out during his service in India from 1898 to 1928. Many of the sites visited by Stein had never been explored by Europeans before. Most of them yielded Buddhist remains, though his main interest in the region was to follow Alexander the Great's route to the Indus. Throughout his work, Stein made attempts to identify sites with references both to Classical and Buddhist sources. Although not all identifications were correct, some proved to be valid and have paved the way for later archaeologists. Stein retired from service in India in 1917 but obtained an extension of service on 'special duty' to work on publications, the collections from his third Central Asian expedition and other projects until 1928. It was during this time that he returned to conduct another archaeological tour in Upper Swat, a place he had long wanted to visit, in search of Aornos, the site of Alexander's last siege before advancing to the Indus. Swat, historically known as Uddyana (lit. Garden) is a river valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. It is the upper valley of the Swat River, which rises in the Hindu Kush range. The capital of Swat is Saidu Sharif, but the main town in the Swat valley is Mingora. It was a princely state until 1969 when it was dissolved alongside the states of Dir and Chitral and made part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, then known as North-West Frontier Province. Ethnic Pashtuns and Gujjar and Kohistani communities mostly populate the valley. Bibliographic references: Creswell, 1282, British Museum/Rienjang; Yakushi S337. #34079.

Later half leather and cloth; modern endpapers. (With:) Stein, M. A. Preliminary Report on a Journey of Archaeological and Topographical Exploration in Chinese Turkestan. London, Eyre…and Spottiswoode, 1901. 4to. 77, (1) pp. With 8 plates. Modern library leather covered with the original gilt cloth. First edition of this defining archaeological text on the ancient site of Dandan Oilik (or Uiliq), a settlement built around an oasis along the Silk Road at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, where it flourished around the sixth century but was abandoned by the eighth. The author, Sir Marc Aurel Stein (1862-1943), was an Hungarian-British archaeologist who also dabbled as an ethnographer, surveyor, geographer, and linguist. Stein completed his most important work in Central Asia, and his excavation of Dandan Oilik was both the first to be made on the site and his most important contribution to the field of archaeology. - Illustrated with over one hundred plates across two volumes, most photographic and many half-tone, recorded herein is a huge variety of finds from the Dandan Oilik excavations, including many quite rare survivals made possible by the desert environment. These include coloured wall frescoes and painted shrine panels, swatches of ancient silk and cotton, very delicate woven textiles, and manuscripts on tablets, paper, and silk. Though excavated several times following Stein and most recently surveyed in 2006, the site has not been fully excavated and remains closed to the public, making this textual record of its earliest excavation of particular importance. - Wanting one plate. Some toning and chipping throughout, with a few closed tears and folding map repaired; library markings removed from title-page. Stein's "Preliminary Report", published six years before his great two-volume study, bears the contemporary stamps of the Civil Secretariat Library, Central Provinces, Nagpur. - OCLC 905448249.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition of this comprehensive scientific report of Stein's 1913-16 expedition, during which he travelled to Kashgar and Khotan, and across the Pei-shan, the Turfan depression, and the Pamirs to Samarkand, before turning south through eastern Persia to Baluchistan. As with Stein's other expedition publications, the work is…superbly produced and presented. "Stein's great achievement. was to establish the existence of a hitherto lost civilization along the Silk Route in Chinese central Asia. Despite the fact that better-financed expeditions from Germany and France (led by Professor Albert Grunwedel and Albert von Le Coq, and Paul Pelliot respectively) worked in the same area, Stein was the first archaeologist to discover evidence of the spread of the Graeco-Buddhist culture of north-west India across Chinese Turkestan and into China itself" (ODNB). Howgego III S65; Yakushi S720. 3 vols, quarto, and custom map case. With 505 half-tone illustrations from photographs (some on folding sheets) in text vols, 138 plates (a few in colour) and 59 plans in third vol.; 52 folding maps (four tabbed A-D and in printed envelope) housed in map case. Vols in original brownish-red cloth, spines and front covers lettered in gilt, front covers with embossed gilt roundel showing Athena with arm outstretched brandishing the aegis incorporating the gorgoneion (Stein's personal emblem), fore and bottom edges untrimmed. Recent brownish-red cloth map case with spine label, standing in for original map case (no longer present). Vols generally clean and fresh, extremities a little bumped, index map in custom case creased and marked, a few others lightly worn as expected: a very good set.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition, first impression, in the scarce jacket. On Ancient Central-Asian Tracks details the findings of Stein's first three Central Asian expeditions and research undertaken between 1900 and 1916. This is an especially fresh copy of a work produced in the handsome style common to Stein's monographs. The work originated as… a series of lectures given at Harvard University in December 1929. "The First Expedition had proved Stein to be as brilliantly effective a fieldworker as the Rajatarangini showed him to be a scholarly Orientalist - a pioneer in a vast new field of research; the Second, extending his investigations to Tun-Huang and the Aksai Chin, made him a hero and brought him knighthood; the Third, extending his field of operations still further - into Mongolia on the east and Iran on the west - gave substance to his role as 'Archaeological Explorer'" (Mirsky, p. 461). Howgego IV S65; Yakushi S338. Jeannette Mirsky, Sir Aurel Stein: Archaeological Explorer, 1998. Octavo. Coloured frontispiece with captioned tissueguard, 15 similar plates, 78 half-tone photographic plates, 8 extensive folding panoramas, folding colour map. Two pages of publisher's advertisements at end. Original reddish-brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover with embossed gilt roundel after Stein's personal emblem, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. With dust jacket. Two recent Japanese bookseller's tickets on front pastedown. Cloth a little rubbed but still bright, text and illustrations fresh: jacket price-clipped and lightly soiled, a few chips and closed tears: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.
