The Station. Athos: Treasures and Men
Robert Byron, 1928
BYRON, Robert (1905-1941). The Station. Athos: Treasures and Men. London: Duckworth, 1928.
The author's own annotated copy of the first edition including original photographs and notes to the publisher. This is Byron’s second travel book, written when he was just 22, and still regarded as the finest account of Mount Athos. It is copiously annotated with further details and notes and many of the photographic plates have original photographs annotated by Byron on the versos laid in. William S. Reese once owned a cache of literary papers from Byron's close friend and biographer, Christopher Sykes. These were mostly donated to the Beinecke Library at Yale, except for a few items such as this.
Octavo. Illustrated with photographic plates. 11 corresponding original photographs laid in. Separate sheet of manuscript annotations paper-clipped to p. 54 (some paper clip rust stains here and elsewhere). Original cloth (rubbed, text block cracked, one leaf loose and laid in). Custom cloth box.
