Together with an autograph letter from the author, loosely inserted.

Newton was vice-consul in the Levant between 1852 and 1859, and conducted a number of archaeological excavations in the region of Mitylene, at Rhodes, Kalymnos and at sites on the coast of Asian Minor, before directing the excavation of Halicarnassus. The plates include albumen prints of antiquities by Francis Bedford after Newton.
