Safar Nameh - Persian Pictures - A Book Of Travel is a 1894 account of Gertrude Bell's trip to Persia to visit her uncle, Sir Frank Lascelles, who was British minister at Tehran. Published two years after the trip, this vintage book chronicles her various travels through Persia with the help of amazing authentic photographs. An interesting piece of travel writing highly recommended for those with an interest in turn-of-the-century Persia. Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell, CBE (1868-1926) was an English writer, political officer, traveller, archaeologist, and administrator. She became an important policy-maker in the British Empire as a result of her extensive knowledge and contacts, which she built up through her numerous travels in Mesopotamia, Greater Syria, Asia Minor, and Arabia. Other notable works by this author include: Poems from the Divan of Hafiz (1892), The Desert and the Sown (1907), and Mountains of the Servants of God (1910). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition with specially curated introductory material.
