BELZONI, GIOVANNI BATTISTA Plates illustrative of the researches and operations of G. Belzoni in Egypt and Nubia ... and Six New Plates... London: John Murray 1820-22. First edition of the Atlas volume (only). Contemporary marbled boards backed in calf. 18 1/4 x 22 1/2 inches (57 x 46.5 cm); 2 ff., followed by 44 plates and plans on 34 sheets, all but 4 hand-colored (in the first part) and six plates in the second, the full complement of published plates. A few plates torn and repaired in the margins; a few plates with margins restored, some soiling & marking. The Signet Library copy, with the library bookplate on the front endpaper. The Atlas volume of Belzoni's important narrative is one of the great pictorial records of Egyptology at this period, and this first edition is quite uncommon. Abbey Travel 268. C
