In Scripture Lands - New Views of Sacred Places

Part of the preface to the English Edition reads:- Mr Wilson is well known, both on the other side of the Atlantic and also on this, as an enthusiastic traveller, photographer, and student of biblical topography and history. Some specimens of his beautiful art work and of his picturesque descriptions of Eastern life and scenery have appeared in print from time to time. In this volume he for the first time gives a detailed sketch of his lengthy wanderings, and a very large and varied selection of beautiful engravings, reproduced, not from "idealised" sketches, but from the truthful and delicate photographs.
