The first edition of this work, which was one of four works produced by Frith from this series. With thirty-seven mounted photographs total. Each photograph remains in a bright condition. Collated, complete. The gutta percha binding has given way which is normal. Most copies have been rebound but this one is in the original and unmolested state.

He journeyed to the Middle East for three occasions to take photographs, using the collodion process. Frith was one of the first people to experiment with glass negatives. This allowed him to print his photography multiple times and therefore make them available for a wider audience. Much of the work is detached from the original binding, as is common with these gutta percha bindings. This work is undated, though has a note to the title page 'Awarded a Prize Medal' the 1862 Londini Honoris Causa. Gernsheim notes that this is the second publication of these photographs, which originally appeared in 1859 in a two volume set. However 'The prints in this edition are of a much stronger quality than those in the first edition having been gold-toned' (Gernsheim). In the original half morocco binding with cloth covered boards. Externally, sound, with rubbing o the joints and spine. Small tidemark to the cloth at the front board. Loss to the spine. Front joint is split and tender with the hinge strained but firm.

This plate is one of the aforementioned detached leaves. Chips to the edge of 'Entrance of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre', 'The Church of the Holy Sepulchre' and 'Church of the Ascension' plates. The occasional light scattered spots to plates, mostly to the edges. Good Only . Ill.: Francis Frith. Good Only .
