Hanson Henry Charles, “The Land of Greece described and illustrated”, London, T. Nelson and sons, 1886. First edition. Small 4to (25x18cm), pp.400. Original engraved cloth boards, gilt edges. Complete with 44 illustrations illustrations/views of Greece and 3 maps. Hanson with this book provided a very analytical description of Greece, just after the incorporation of Thessaly. Although his goal was to provide the early tourists with a detailed guide, his description blends successfully some historical details with the contemporary description of the land, before the end of 19th century. His route starts from Thessaly, then to the Ionian islands, before continuing in the mainland Greece, Athens and finally Peloponessus.
