Catalogue Note
This work, which is signed in facsimile by the authors at the end, was printed "for private circulation only" and is rare, with just one copy recorded at auction. The chapters are titled I. Tehran to Meshed; II. Transcaspia and Turkestan; III. The Caspian and Mazanderan. It seems that this is a second issue - the Burrell copy sold at auction was dated 1890.
