The expedition visited the principal towns of Ethiopia Adwaz, Aksum, Adegrat, Chalaqot, Ankobar, Angolalah, and Gondar as well as villages markets and monasteries. The result of the mission was the most comprehensive study of the country produced up to that time" (Pankhurst). - Six text volumes (not present with this set) were issued. The first part of the very impressive plate volumes is devoted to the expedition's travels, ethnology and archaeology, and contains landscapes, portraits, weapons, etc. as well as antiquities at Aksum, Gondar, and elsewhere. Parts two and three are devoted to zoology and botany respectively. - Provenance: from the library of Princess Marie-Caroline, Duchesse de Berry (1798-1870), daughter of Francis I of the Two Sicilies and of Archduchess Maria Clementina of Austria, at Brunnsee Palace.

Examples from her library are much prized for their generally fine condition. - Some light foxing throughout; a fine copy. Nissen, ZBI 2420 & BBI 1663; Graesse IV, 141. Pankhurst 25. Gay 2653.
