NEWTON Charles, "Further papers respecting the excavations at Budrum and Cnidus", London, Harrison and sons, 1859. 8vo, pp.103, including a full-page plate, in text sketches, and 3 very rare folding plans from the Mausoleum excavations, surveyed just ~one year before the current publication entitled:

"Plan of the site of the Mausoleum, Halicarnassus, excavated 1857", folding 76 x 63 cm

“Mausoleum. Sections” folding 40 x 40 cm

“Environs of the site of Mausoleum / surveyed in May 1858”, folding, 39 x 30 cm

The current (1859) publication can be considered as the First publication where the excavation results are depicted in detailed plans. It includes 17 letters sent by Newton to Earl of Malmesbury and Earl of Clarendon informing him about his excavation strategies and the artifacts he uncovers from the excavations in Halicarnassus and Cnidus. Charles Newton (1816-1894), a British archaeologist and traveler, is always remembered for the discovery and excavation of the famous Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The results of the excavations were thoroughly published in 1862-1863 in Newton’s work “A History of Discoveries at Halicarnassus, Cnidus and Branchidae”. 

Contemporary half vellum. Occasional spotting, a marginal tear on one folding plate. 2 other paper bound at the end.

Very rare.
