BYRON, Robert The Station Athos: Treasures and Men

Duckworth, 1928.

First edition. Original blue cloth with gilt titles on the spine in rare pictorial dustwrapper. Thirty-three black and white photographs by the author. A fine copy in a fine dustwrapper, with just a touch of dustiness to the spine. An exceptional copy.

The author's second book written at the age of 22. Uncommon in a dustwrapper, particularly one so well preserved.
"No better portrait of the Holy Mountain exists than this, written as it was nearly sixty years ago; nor is it likely to be surpassed in the future. Here, in short, is a classic. And a classic it will remain." (John Julius Norwich)
