Dealer Notes
A breezy account of a couple’s religious holiday in Palestine. It’s contains a handwritten dedication page that shows that it was printed by the couple as a Christmas gift for friends. This suggests that it was produced in a very limited print run.

The book is divided into short chapters describing each place that the couple visited. These include El Kantara, Jerusalem, Jericho, Galilee and Nazareth. They finish their journey in Haifa before returning to Bombay via Egypt. Their trip includes the typical visits to religious sites expected from pilgrims. Their visit includes exploring Jerusalem, visiting the amount of olives, swimming in the Dead Sea and climbing Mount Zion.

Rare. OCLC locates a single holding at the National Library of Israel.
