Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover. Scarce. First Edition. In his preface, the author states that there have been so many books about Egypt, but that his intent is to describe Egypt as it is, not as it was. He focuses on changes made in Egypt under the ruler (of the day) Mohammed Ali. Ali (1769 - 1849) is now considered to be the founder of modern Egypt and is best remembered for his attempts to modernize the country by reforming the military, economy, and culture. He also initiated a violent purge of the Mamluks, who had a hold over Egypt before his rule began. The author also includes a discussion of Candia, which had recently come under Egyptian rule. (Candia refers to the Venetian name for Crete at that time.) During his military career the author had traveled in Crete and Syria. The two volumes are bound in nineteenth century three quarter black leather with marbled paper covers and endpapers. Leather is bumped and lightly rubbed. Marbled covers are scuffed. Text pages have browning and aging throughout but are quite legible. Ownership signature of Arthur Stanley Bride to top of title page. Bride (1804 - 1867) was an Irish author who wrote a medieval historical novel about Edrick the Saxon. Volume I has frontis and two plates; Volume II has frontis, one plate, and fold-out map with the plan for Karnak. Very good. Small octavos. Volume I: 348 pages; Volume II: 358 pages. GREEK/032921.

Hardcover. Zustand: g+ to vg. Original photograph(s). Quarto (10 1/4 x 10"). 37 leaves. Original 3/4 buckram over marbled paper covered boards. First leaf with handwritten title on a pasted 5 3/4 x 7" cardboard handsigned by Major und Abteilungskommandeur (Major and Division Commander) Blüme. Unique photo album documenting Staff Captain Köhler's service at the P.E.A in Potsdam. We have no information about when Köhler started to serve there, but we know that it must have ended in October 1940, as the souvenir photo-album bears that date. Köhler's rank (Hauptmann beim Stabe, the equivalent of Staff Captain in the US Army) was the highest military rank in the Wehrmacht for specialist officers. The first five photographs depict him in company of other German officers (Leaves 1 to 5). The following 16 photographs depict Köhler with his unit during maneuvers (leaves 6 to 21). The stunning 14 photographs between leaves 22 and 32 document the State funeral of German Admiral Adolf von Trotha (1868-1940), including two photographs showing Adolf Hitler paying his respects before the Admiral's casket. Another silver gelatin print shows the Führer's wreath at the Cenotaph. The last three photographs in this series show Köhler among other officers of his unit at the grave of von Trotha. The original photograph pasted on leaf 33 is a rather surprising one as it shows our Wehrmacht officer in what appears to be his office, standing next to a lamb! The last three silver gelatin prints depict gorgeous views of the Sanssouci Park and Palace (leaves 34 to 36). Except for leaf 22 which has three 3 3/4 x 2 3/4 photographs, all the other leaves have one original photograph each (size 7 x 5" or 5 x 7"). All leaves are tissue-guarded. [WITH] 10 smaller loose photographs (size varying from 4 x 2 3/4" to 3 1/2 x 5") depicting Köhler with other German officers. Includes one showing a seated Köhler next to the same lamb featured on leaf 33, and two showing him on the Eastern Front. These two photographs are handcaptioned by himself at verso, and dated January and February 1942. [WITH] An early 20th-century 4 x 2 1/2" albumen print from Berlin-based photographer Max Piepenhagen depicting a German soldier in full Imperial uniform. The photograph could be Köhler himself at the outbreak of WWI. Minor and sporadic rubbing along edges of photo album. Leaf 34 detached but present. Title and captions in German. Album in overall good+, interior in good+ to very good, original photographs in very good condition.
