Description

Henry Salt was one of the most important figures in early 19th century travel, archaeology and diplomacy.

Celebrated for his expeditions to Abyssinia, Salt later became British Consul-General in Egypt, where he played an important diplomatic role.

However, it is for his involvement in the re-discovery of ancient Egypt that he is best remembered.

This study is an appreciation of this significant figure and brings to life a fascinating period in the history of Egypt and Abyssinia.
