Appleton and Company City: New York Year: 1881 Printing Information: First Edition Binding Style: Hardcover Number of Volumes: 1 Full Set: No Pagination: 480 pages plus 20 plates Width: 11 Height: 13.5 Book Details: Picturesque Palestine, Sinai, and Egypt was a lavishly illustrated set of books published by D. Appleton & Co. in the early 1880s based on their phenomenally successful Picturesque America and Picturesque Europe series. It was edited by Charles William Wilson. The Appleton series was issued as two volumes or four divisions, it was reprinted in London by J.S. Virtue & Co., simply published as four volumes. It was followed in 1884 by Stanley Lane-Poole's Social Life in Egypt, a kind of sequel that billed itself as a supplement to Picturesque Palestine. It is sometimes treated as a fifth volume of the series, but did not use Fenn or Woodward for its art.
