Narrative is 6 pages, accompanied by a large fold-out map measuring approximately 13 inches x 10 inches (32cm x 25cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. The author endeavors to clear up the mystery surrounding the long lost ancient oasis 'Zerzura' in the Libyan Desert. He provides a succinct lucid account accompanied by a spectacular fold-out map including routes traveled in his quest for knowledge and discovery. In hope of finding the lost oasis of Zerzura, in 1929 Major Bagnold and his expedition team had explored extensive regions west and south-west of Ain Dalla. The Zerzura was not found. Several others followed in pursuit of answering the age old mystery. The mythical city or oasis, Zerzura, 'the oasis of fluttering birds' described in old manuscripts dating as far back as the 13th century, is rumoured to have existed in the desert west of the Nile River in Egypt or Libya. This disputed oasis situated in the regions of the Libyan desert has long been a topic of hot controversy and debate.

Ouvrage fondamental pour la connaissance de l'orient de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, le "Voyage en Syrie et en Egypte" rencontra un un très grand succès, et joua un grand rôle dans l'idée et la mise en place de l'Expédition d'Egypte menée par Napoléon Bonaparte. Volney's popular and highly-regarded work was the result of three year's travels, a good deal of which time was spent in Cairo. His account has never really been surpassed.
