Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Seen In The Hadhramaut, Freya Stark, John Murray, 1938, First Edition First Impression First State Binding Rare Dustjacket One of the greatest travel writers of all time, Freya Stark's first adventures took her to Iran and the long-fabled Valley of the Assassins. In 1934, Freya sailed down the Red Sea to Aden to begin a new adventure. She hoped to trace the frankincense route of the Hadhramaut, the hinterland of southern Arabia. Only a handful of Western explorers had previously ventured into the region, but never as far or as widely as she went. She published her account of the region in three books, The Southern Gates of Arabia: A Journey in the Hadhramaut (1936), Seen In The Hadhramaut (1938) and A Winter in Arabia (1940). Seen In The Hadhramaut is largely a pictorial record of that journey with over 130 plates from the author's own photographs. A comprehensive and and enthralling picture of a country that for many centuries had been carefully avoided by travellers. First edition first impressions of Stark's accounts of her travels are much sought after and highly collectable. A first / first, particularly in the first state oatmeal binding of Seen In The Hadhramaut, is hard to find in decent condition with a good dust jacket. The binding is tight and straight, the oatmeal boards have some darkening with age but no scratches or scuffs, the endpapers and pages are without marks, tears or inscriptions and remarkably no foxing. The unclipped dustjacket, protected in a clear removable cover, has retained its pink colouring and is largely in good condition save some wear (rubbing and small nicks) to the corners and a little loss to the top of the spine, but overall in much better condition than most of the admittedly few copies we see with dustjackets. Will be dispatched carefully wrapped in bubblewrap and a cardboard box.
