Original cloth blocked in gilt, black on front cover & spine and in blind on rear cover. A VG tightly bound copy, with just a few light marks to upper cover, of this very scarce work which is the earliest book in English on rugs.This volume contains a narrative of a journey to the Caspian region, undertaken with the object of gaining personal knowledge in the manufacture of Eastern fabrics, more especially having regard to the carpet industry.
