Dealer Notes

Blackmer 1462; Kalfatovic 0617 (“A fascinating account”). Russell, a journalist for The Times, gained fame for his reports from the Crimean War. In the late 1860s his friendship with the Duke of Sutherland brought him into the Prince of Wales’s circle, and Russell accompanied the Prince on his 1869 travels to Egypt and the Crimea. Their party travelled from Cairo as far as the second cataract, returning to Cairo before proceeding to Constantinople and the Crimea. Business meant that Russell had to make a visit to Jerusalem during the time that the Prince was on the Nile, and the book includes his account of the trip to the city.
