Bartlett made in all five journeys to the Levant and two to Jerusalem in particular, the first in 1842. This is the first work written and illustrated by himself; previously he had illustrated works by others. Bartlett died on the return from his final voyage in 1853-4 and was buried at sea.
A lovely topographical travel work on Jerusalem in the mid nineteenth century. The work discusses ancient Jerusalem, and takes the reader of three walks around the city. Illustrated with a frontispiece, vignette title page, two folding plates, twenty-two plates, and numerous in-text illustrations. Written and illustrated by William Henry Bartlett, a British artist known for his steel engravings.
