Couverture rigide. Zustand: Bon. XXIV-342 pp. 1 carte. Londres, MacMillan and Co, 1933, in-8, XXIV-342 pp. 1 carte, Cartonnage éditeur de toile brune, Édition originale de ce récit de voyages effectués par Sir Aurel Stein (1862-1943), archéologue et explorateur britannique d'origine hongroise. Il est illustré de 147 figures hors texte, parfois dépliantes ou en couleurs, accompagnées des serpentes légendées d'origine ainsi que d'une carte dépliante en fin de volume. Cet ouvrage est le fruit de trois expéditions effectuées par Stein en 1900-1901, 1906-1908 et 1913-1916, soit presque de 7 ans de voyage, la plupart du temps à pied ou à cheval, sur une distance de plus de 40 000 kilomètres, dans le Turkestan chinois et aux alentours. En tant que spécialiste reconnu de la région, le président de l'Université d'Harvard aux États-Unis lui demande de donner une série de conférences sur ses expéditions. C'est à cette occasion qu'il rédige son récit. Au contraire de celles publiées précédemment, cette relation de voyage est destinée à un public large et non spécialiste, dans le but de faire une introduction géographique, historique et ethnographique de la région. Cartonnage frotté notamment aux coins et coiffes, quelques petites taches. Bon état intérieur.

First edition, 8vo, pp. xxiv, 342, [2] ads; color frontispiece, 147 illustrations on rectos and versos of 78 plates (16 in color), including 8 folding panoramas, and a large folding map; original terracotta cloth stamped in gilt on upper cover and spine, t.e.g.; ex-James J. Hill Library, with traces of call numbers on spine, perforated stamp in the bottom margin of the title page, and a small rubberstamp on the last page of text and on the verso of the large folding map; all else near fine, clean, and sound. "Comprehensive summary of the results of the author's three Central Asian expeditions, and of his researches carried out during the years 1900-16" (Yakushi). Yakushi S723a.

First edition, first impression, in the scarce jacket. On Ancient Central-Asian Tracks details the findings of Stein's first three Central Asian expeditions and research undertaken between 1900 and 1916. This is an especially fresh copy of a work produced in the handsome style common to Stein's monographs. The work originated as a series of lectures given at Harvard University in December 1929. "The First Expedition had proved Stein to be as brilliantly effective a fieldworker as the Rajatarangini showed him to be a scholarly Orientalist - a pioneer in a vast new field of research; the Second, extending his investigations to Tun-Huang and the Aksai Chin, made him a hero and brought him knighthood; the Third, extending his field of operations still further into Mongolia on the east and Iran on the west gave substance to his role as 'Archaeological Explorer'" (Mirsky, p. 461). Howgego IV S65; Yakushi S338. Jeannette Mirsky, Sir Aurel Stein: Archaeological Explorer, 1998. Octavo. Coloured frontispiece with captioned tissueguard, 15 similar plates, 78 half-tone photographic plates, 8 extensive folding panoramas, folding colour map. Two pages of publisher's advertisements at end. Original reddish-brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover with embossed gilt roundel after Stein's personal emblem, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. With dust jacket. Two recent Japanese bookseller's tickets on front pastedown. Cloth a little rubbed but still bright, text and illustrations fresh: jacket price-clipped and lightly soiled, a few chips and closed tears: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.

First edition of the account of the three very important explorations by the Hungarian-born archaeologist Marc Aurel Stein's (1862-1943) and of his researches carried out in Chinese Turkistan and adjacent parts of innermost Asia in 1900-1901, 1906-1908 and 1913-1914. Stein travelled through Pamirs, Khotan and Niya to Dunhuang, Suchou, Turfan and Kashgar to Samaskand and the northern and southern silk roads. In the present work, he describes his archeological and topographical discoveries, by showing artefacts like documents, art objects and describing buildings and landscapes (all illustrated with the photographic illustrations), showing the eastern and western influences. Highly interesting summary of this important archeological expedition to Chinese Turkistan and its adjacent areas.With the bookplate of Louise Maxwell Scott on the front paste-down and another owner's inscription dated March 1991 and the bookplate of A. Constable Maxwell on the first free endpaper. Untrimmed, in very good condition. Original publisher's terracotta cloth, title in gold on spine and Stein's gold-tooled and blind-stamped emblem of Athena on the front board. With a coloured frontispiece, a coloured map and 147 photographic illustrations of among others documents, art and views (some folding). Pages: xxiv, 342, [2] pp.

Rose cloth, 4 vol. set: vol. 1-2 text, vol. 3 plates & plans, vol. 4 maps, bibliography, unclipped mended dust jackets in mylar protectors, 25.5 x 34 cm., brilliantly bright superb clean copy. FIRST & ONLY EDITION . *** **** *** . . FIRST & ONLY LIMITED EDITION OF 765 SETS . A monumental work, well-illustrated study on the trade route countries of Central Asia. Always a rare set when complete. . * "With descriptive lists of antiques by F.H. Andrews & F.M.G. Lorimer; & appendices by J. Allan et al." Volume 1, 2: text, 1159 pages, with text illustrations. Vol. 3: 137 plates, 59 plans. Vol. 4: 51 color folding maps in matching rose cloth case, with index tabs. . *** M. AUREL STEINS PERSONAL COPY: This is a very nice copy which was likely owned by the author as his personal letter was found used as a book mark in one of the volumes. The letter is 19 x 25.5 cm., plain toned white paper, written by Sir Aurel Stein using a very wide fountain pen and blue ink. The letter is in remarkable condition and has been folded twice, but now is quite flat and solid. . * WITH A VERY RARE HOLOGRAPHIC LETTER FROM AUREL STEIN: "At Highbroom, Ewhurst, Guilford: February 15, 1925 Dear Sirs, Thanks for your letter of the 9th inst. and the account rendered with it. I note in the account of entry of 10/6 charged for the Return of Income Tax for the years 1922-3 and 1923-4. As I was absent from the United Kingdom during the whole of these financial years, no Income Tax was due from the royalties received in these years on my behalf. I accordingly request the favour of an explanation as to how this charge arises against my account, and hope for a refund of the amount. Yours faithfully A. Stein" . * Perhaps Aurel Stein got his reply from the Income Tax office and or this was a copy of his letter. It was found lost as a "book mark" found in this set. A lovely insight to Stein, and his thoughts on how the British government had wrongly charged him Income Tax. A lovely holographic letter, written in pen and ink, in his usual and steady hand. Stein letters are rare and seldom found on the market. . *** FIRST & ONLY LIMITED EDITION OF 765 COPIES. We understand that this set was issued in a Limited Edition of only 765 complete copies, the balance of 250 sets were incomplete as they lacked 48 maps. . * THE MAPS AND MAP BOX VOLUME: The matching map box is also in bound in rose cloth, 25.5 x 34 cm., and is 5 cm. thick. There is some minor and usual wear to the upper and lower part of the hinged flap, with some old mends. The contents consist of 47 maps each with white index tabs, plus 4 other maps index tabs: "A,B,C,D," and the index, complete as issued. . *** CONDITION: . Bound in the publisher's cloth, as issued. . This is the brightest and freshest copy we have ever had in our 45 years of tenure. The cloth of the main three volumes is nearly flawless, with bright rose color, brilliant gold stamping on the spines and front covers. There is no scuffing whatsoever, and the head/tails of the spines are fresh with a few of the usual wrinkles expected. The joints are strong, tight and the book appears to be by and large unused. There are a few bumped corners: vol. 1: the front upper right corner has a very small bump; vol. 2: faint and very tiny hint of a bump on front lower right, else none; vol. 3: front right and left, and rear corners tiny bump, front lower right a larger bump, please see scans posted to our website for photographs. . * DUST JACKETS: The set of three volumes all have the original dust jackets each protected in Mylar covers. There was some of the usual wear to the unprotected dust jackets, and some restoration with matching paper was performed from the inside to stabilize the tears and small missing pieces. Overall the jackets are nice with some repairs to the upper and lower spine as well as corners and a few other spots here and there. Finding this set with the dust jacket is exceptionally rare and unusual. The set if ever found most always lacks the dust jackets. . *** . BIBLIOGRAPHY: . Stein 1862-1943. * Arntzen I 506. *.
