En Orient, Récits et Notes d'un Voyage en Palestine et en Syrie by Abbe Roboisson (Pierre August Raoisson). Paris: Librairie Catholique de l'Oeuvre de Saint-Pau, 1886-1887. French. Two volumes.
Books documenting the journey of the French abbot Pierre Auguste Raboisson in Egypt, Sinai, Palestine and Syria. The two volumes of the book include 150 plates of prints (75 plates in each volume) and 14 maps. The prints were created after photographs and they depict views, figures and sites. Among the photographs of Palestine are photographs of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nablus, Nazareth and other towns. Among the maps: map of Sinai, map of Jerusalem, map of Palestine, and more.
Abbot Raboisson was an amateur photographer who learned the art of photography shortly before the journey documented in this book. Even though he claimed that all the prints in this book were created after photographs which he shot during his journey, it was later discovered that some were created after photographs by Felix Bonfils and other photographers. See: "Focus East: Early Photography in the Near East (1839-1885)" by Nissan Perez (New-York-Jerusalem, 1988), p. 270.
Vol. I: [2] leaves, 318, [1] pp + [84] plates (9 of which are maps). Vol. II: [2] leaves, 354, [1] pp + [80] plates (5 of which are maps). 35 cm. Good-fair condition. Many stains. Tears at margins of a number of leaves. Slmall worming holes to first volume. Uncut sheets in second volume. Bindings with leather spines and corners (tears and defects. Open tears to spines).

Walks in Palestine, by Henry A. Harper. London: The Religious Tract Society, 1888. English.
The book is divided into 24 chapters which deal with impressions from different sites in Palestine, such as orange groves in Jaffa, Jaffa Gate, Western Wall, Via Dolorosa, Rachel's Tomb, road to Jericho and more. Each chapter is accompanied by a photo-gravure after a photograph by the photographer Cecil V. Shadbolt.
Henry Andrew Harper (1835-1900) was a painter well known for his paintings of the orient. He was a member of the Palestine Exploration Fund and wrote a number of books about journeys in Palestine.
This is a copy from a limited edition of the book, numbered 23/100 and bound in vellum binding of good quality, with gilt embossings. Gilt edges.
A handwritten dedication appears in the opening of the book, dated 1888: "To my dear… Mary (20th year)" [Mary B. Budgett, whose bookplate appears in the book]; the signature at the end of the dedication is not clear but it may be assumed that it was written by the author, the publisher or one of their acquaintances.

Collection of handwritten letters describing a journey in Palestine. November 1877. English.
The letters are addressed to a woman named Emma and are signed: "A. A. Roberts". Apparently the letters were written by a woman.
The first letter was written in Jaffa, and the writer tells about sailing from Port Said to Palestine (mentioning names of fellow travellers, most of them from the United States) and the various sites which she visited in Jaffa and the vicinity. Among others, the writer mentions an encounter with Rolla Floyd, representative of Thomas Cook Tourism Company in Palestine and one of the first tourist guides in Palestine.
All of the other letters were written in Mediterranean Hotel in Jerusalem. The writer tells in detail about her visit in Jerusalem, mainly in the Old City, while making many references to the Bible and the New Testament.
Most letters are written on special stationery produced by the antiquities dealer Moses Wilhelm Shapira in Jerusalem. On the upper part of the stationery paper are decorations printed in golden ink and small prints (photolithographic print, Ph. Frey & Co, in Germany) depicting sites in Palestine - Dome of the Rock, Western Wall, Valley of Yehoshafat, Nazareth, Tiberias, Hebron and more.
[9] leaves (sheets folded into two. Four written pages on each), 22 cm. Good condition. Some stains and creases. Small tears at folding lines.
