First edition, a familial presentation copy, inscribed on the front flyleaf: "Mrs Edward Dana, with compliments. Mrs Allen". This uncommon work is Allen's account of travelling through more than twelve countries. It is her only travel book, published posthumously by "loving hands" from her journals and letters; privately printed for friends and family, and thus notably scarce. The intrepid traveller and New Haven native, Harriet Trowbridge Allen (1845-1877) had her first intercontinental adventure in 1858. She spent a year in Europe with her parents and an older sister, visiting "France, Italy, Greece, and Turkey, before journeying in England and Scotland". In 1863 she ventured to "California before sailing to China. She returned home by way of Hong Kong, Singapore, Ceylon, Egypt, Spain, Malta, Algiers, and France, having spent a year on her journey" (Theakstone, p. 5). Shortly after returning home, she married William Henry Allen. Allen's writings chiefly detail the local culture and the people she encountered. This becomes especially apparent in her narrative of Singapore: "The natives carry themselves with a grace which must arise in a great measure from the free play their limbs have had, untrammeled by any of our restricting articles of dress. Sometimes you see bright coloured cloth, like a sheet folded around the figure, but so gracefully draped that that any artist might rejoice in such a model" (p. 444). She also gives a sunny account of Spain in keeping with America's fascination with the country's history, literature, and culture in the 19th century. WorldCat lists only 13 copies, all in the US. We have been able to trace just two appearances at auction since 1908. Provenance: the "Mrs Allen" is likely one of Harriet's four sisters, as the author had passed away two years prior to publication, and her mother in 1860. The recipient is most likely Caroline Dana (1857-1916), wife of mineralogist Edward Salisbury Dana (1849-1935). Although we have been unable to establish a firm connection, the couple resided in New Haven at the time of publication, and the Dana and Trowbridge families were linked through marriages. Theakstone, p. 5. Not in Robinson. Large octavo. Original dark brown cloth over bevelled boards, spine lettered in gilt, spine and covers elaborately blocked in black, brown surface-paper endpapers. Slightly cocked, a touch of rubbing and small marks, minor discolouration to right edge of front board, scattered foxing throughout. A very good copy.
