SCHLIEMANN, HEINRICH

Mycenae: A Narrative of Researches and Discoveries at Mycenae and Tiryns

NY: Scribner, Armstrong & Company, 1878. First American Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full burgundy cloth decorated in gilt and black, beveled edges, t.e.g. Profusely illustrated with maps, four color Chromolithograph plates, over 500 full page and in-text illustrations, 21 glossy monochrome plates, and eight plans (including three fold-out). Includes Index and Appendices. Preface by W. E. Gladstone, M.P. This is the first American edition. "Mycenae" was first published in Germany (in German) in 1877. Following the publication of his findings from the spectacular excavations at Hisarlik, the Turkish government revoked Schliemann's permission to dig, and sued him for a share of the treasure trove Schlieman had uncovered. He was thus obliged to establish a new dig, which he did at Mycenae in the Peloponnese, and which was attended by similarly remarkable results, culminating in the uncovering of the famous "Mask of Agamemnon". Head and heel moderately worn with minor loss, some white soiling on spine, front hinge cracked internally, otherwise unmarked, tight, and square. A lovely copy of this historically important publication. VERY GOOD. Maps, Plans, and Drawings. Small 4to 9" - 11" tall. lxviii, 384, (plus maps and plans) pp. Very Good with No dust jacket as issued .
