Schweiger-Lerchebfeld (1846-1910), an Austrian officer and writer traveled extensively in Greece and the Levant. From Crimea he had visited Georgia and Armenia and spent a lot of time in the eastern Pontic lands, the hinterland of Trebisond (Trapezounta), still rarely visited that time. He had continued to Kerasounda, Tripoli, Amassia, Angora and through Paflagonia and Bithynia arrived in Brussa and Constantinople. Later traveled extensively in the Balkans, mainly in Thrace and Bulgaria. His narrative is very valuable, as he provided lengthy accounts for the visited places.

Very Rare (specially complete with the maps). Not in Atabey or Blackmer.
