First Edition. Bankes appeared to have it all, he was rich, confident, handsome, he had been educated at Cambridge where he became friends with Byron, he travelled extensively and was a passionate explorer. His travels on the Grand Tour left him with a great love for archaeology and he amassed a wealth of notes, manuscripts and drawings in subsequent visits to Egypt and the Near East between 1915 and 1919. However, scandal in his private life put an end to his promising parliamentary career and his two arrests for homosexual offences led him to seek exile in Italy, leaving his unpublished archive behind in England. This is the story of Banke's life, travels and his contribution to Egyptology. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. William John Bankes (1786-1855) was a brilliant and remarkable man: rich, charming, witty and good-looking, he studied Classics at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he became a close and lifelong friend of Byron. In 1812 he went to Spain and Portugal to pursue a Bohemian lifestyle among the gypsies. This was followed by travels in the Near East, where he sought out danger and excitement, from clandestine trips to the forbidden mosque in Jerusalem to the very real perils attending early travellers in Egypt and Nubia. Bankes amassed a vast portfolio of notes, manuscripts and drawings by the artists who accompanied him on his Egyptian travels. Their extremely high degree of accuracy makes them a very valuable record of the ancient monuments, many of which have since been damaged or lost. His intuitive detective work and the many copies of hieroglyphic inscriptions he accumulated were instrumental in the struggle to decipher hieroglyphs. Bankes spent his later years in self-imposed exile in Italy to avoid the repercussions of a charge brought against him for a homosexual offence involving a guardsman in Green Park. His art collection and an obelisk he removed from Philae remained at Ki. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
