In 1809 the British government sent him on a mission to Abyssinia where he was able to observe the geography, the customs of the people, the fauna and flora. He returned to England in 1811 with numerous specimens and published this report in London in 1814 ("A Voyage to Abyssinia"). This trip earned him membership of the Royal Society, the Linnean Society and correspondent of the Institut de France, and one of the few honorary members of the African Association. In 1815, he was appointed consul-general in Egypt, where he took part in archaeological excavations and established important collections of antiquities. - Ref.

SALT, Henry (1780-1827). Twenty-four Views in St. Helena, the Cape, India,...
Est: $20,000 - $25,000
SALT, Henry (1780-1827). Twenty-four Views in St. Helena, the Cape, India, Ceylon, the Red Sea, Abyssinia, and Egypt. London: William Miller, 1809 [i.e. London: T. M'Lean, 1822]. A very fine set of views after drawings by Henry Salt. Salt left London in 1802 for an eastern tour with Lord Valentia. He visited India and Ceylon and in 1805 took part in the first British mission to Abyssinia, sent to secure a port in the Red Sea in case Napoleon succeeded in gaining control of Egypt. Some of his drawings illustrated Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India (1809). The text to this work (present here in facsimile) was also ostensibly written by Valentia, but according to Abbey "is said to be by Salt." In his English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, Byron mocked the "tremendous travels" of "vain Valentia." Salt's original drawings remained in Valentia's possession, and after Salt's death the plates too became his property. This is the reissue Thomas M'Lean, printed on Whatman paper watermarked 1822. Abbey Travel 515; S.T. Prideaux, Aquatint Engraving, pp.234-237; Tooley 440. Broadsheets (each approximately 559 x 835mm). Aquatint title incorporating dedication, 24 hand-colored aquatint plates by D. Havell, J. Hill and J. Bluck, supervised by Robert Havell, after Henry Salt, on thick Whatman paper watermarked 1822 and made up of two sheets pasted together (small circular stain near gutter of first three plates, plate I with minor crease in sky above main subject, plate VII with diagonal crease in margin, plate XII with tiny hole in sky, some spotting). Later black half morocco, preserving original cloth, morocco cover label and endpapers. [With:] A bound facsimile of the text volume, quarto, cloth.
