[ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ - Εθνογραφική μελέτη] ABBOTT G. F., “THE TALE OF A TOUR IN MACEDONIA / With illustrations”, London: Edward Arnold, 1903. 1st Edition, in 8vo, p. xi(i), 343 (with index) and a folding map at rear. With index, frontispiece, 7 b/w photographs out of text and 31 p. publishers’ catalogue plus author index. George Frederick Abbott (1874-1947) was a British writer and war correspondent. In 1900 the University of Cambridge entrusted him with a research mission in Macedonia, then still part of the Ottoman Empire. The journeys aim was to collect ethnographic material. He stayed in Thessaloniki for some time, before visiting Serres, Sidirokastro, Drama and finally Meleniko. On his return trip he stayed in Kavala and toured Mount Athos. In spite of numerous errors in his clarifications, the few photographs which illustrate his work are of considerable interest, as images from Northern Greece during that period are quite uncommon. Original cloth, spine dull, boards slightly marked and soiled, a little rubbing to corners and edges; endpapers browned, ex libris stamp. Internal binding rather loose, untrimmed and clean pages, fresh images. Good copy.
