A beautiful set.. Illus. with 94 lithographed plates, some color, double-page and/or folding, and over 500 woodcuts. 8vo. Sir John Gardner Wilkinson (1797-1875) had planned an army career, but is first visit to Egypt so enthralled him, that he didn't leave for twelve years. "Wilkinson's greatest published work was Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians (1837), a profusely illustrated description of ancient Egyptian society. Drawing upon his work in the tombs at Gurna, Wilkinson was able to present a poignant picture of daily life in ancient Egypt that instantly caught the popular imagination. Praised by one reviewer as a ‘restoration to life, as it were, of the ancient Pharaohs, and their subjects' (QR, Jan 1839, 120), it passed through many editions, influencing generations of English-speaking readers," (DNB). Provenance: Armorial bookplates of Edward Huth. Lowndes 2924. Brunet VI, 1451 (1st).

After Immediately after the publication of the book, Emin Efendi was sentenced to exile for two years and the book was banned. According to some views, the author's exile was due to the force of the tobacco cartels in the Imperial Ottoman. Written in nashk calligraphic style with "hareke". "Tobacco, an important crop in Turkish agriculture, was introduced to the Ottoman Empire by European merchants in the late 16th century, probably from its Caribbean sources.
