Beschreibung

1928. First edition. 143pp., 32 black and white illustrations and a 1-page advertisement. The Hon Victoria Mary Sackville-West, Lady Nicolson (1892-1962), best known as Vita Sackville-West, was an English author, poet and gardener. This book describes a 12 day trip taken in March/April 1927 by Vita Sackville-West, her husband, Harold Nicolson, and 3 friends with 3 servants, 3 guards, cars and mules. It was a difficult and often dangerous journey through the rugged and wildly-beautiful Bakhtiari Mountains of south-western Iran. The landscape that affected Sackville-West profoundly, inspiring what is arguably some of her most lyrical prose. The book is bound in the original marbled brown and black cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear on the boards and light bumping to the spine ends. The contents are tight and clean with foxing to most of the pages. The foxing is generally light although a few pages are more heavily affected. There is also noticeable foxing to the fore edge of the text block and on some pages this has seeped a little way into the fore margin. The illustrations are printed on a different type of paper and are free from foxing. There is no inscription. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers gCentralAsia03
