2 volumes. Profusely illustrated with steel and wood-engraved plates throughout, including steel-engraved frontispieces; additional pictorial steel-engraved title pages. (Folio) 32x24 cm (12?x9?"), original full blind-stamped brown morocco, lettered in gilt; all edges gilt, gilt dentelles, feathered endpapers. First Edition.
Beautiful images bringing the Holy Land to life, as it was in the 19th century. In a departure from the other "Picturesque" titles published by Appleton, the present work uses the work of only two artists, Harry Fenn and J.D. Woodward, rather than the more numerous assortment found in Picturesque America or Picturesque Europe.

Light wear and rubbing to bindings, particularly extremities, front cover of volume 1 loose; large tear to blank leaf in volume 1 and 4-inch marginal tear frontispiece, otherwise intact, faint age-toning to pages; very good internally deserving of repair.
