In 1884 an obscure British soldier, having finished his tour of duty in India, decided
to make a detour on his trip home in order to spend three months crossing Persia unaccompanied
except for the local muleteers. Among his accoutrements he packed a small leather-bound
sketchbook in which he not only wrote a journal but in which he also added accomplished
and charming water-colour illustrations. The authors' introduction contextualises
this trip made in 1884 against the background of Persianate influence in British culture,
and the general cultural background of late Victorian Britain is presented as the
subliminal driver behind a young man's desire to explore, and illustrate, an already
discovered country - Persia
