STEIN, Sir Marc Aurel.
Old Routes of Western Iran: Narrative of an archaeological journey carried out and recorded by ... Antiquities examined, described and illustrated with the assistance of Fred H. Andrews, ...
Macmillan, London 1940. First edition. 8vo., xxviii, 432pp., coloured folding map in pocket at rear, 112 photographic illustrations, 31 plates of antiquities at end, 25 plans, and 7 maps. Publisher's rust cloth, gilt. A fine bright copy in the scarce dust-jacket with light chipping.
A rarity with the original dust-jacket, and one of the scarcer Stein titles, presumably due to its wartime publication. The record of Stein's travels in 1932-6 through Southern and Western Iran from the extreme south-east of Baluchistan to the Persian frontiers with Iraq and Turkey in the hills of Kurdistan.
