Seller's Description:
Very Good+ First Edition. Hardcover. Layard's findings in Nineveh and Mesopotamia from his first and second expedition. A British diplomat, archaeologist, and adventurer, Layard explored and excavated the ruins of ancient Assyria and Babylon from 1845-1851. On his first expedition Layard started with excavations at Kuyunjik and Nimrud, and investigating the condition of various peoples, until 1847; on returning to England to illustrate the antiquities he published the illustrated antiquities. Layard's first publication on his first expedition into the archaeological sites near modern-day Mosul, Iraq. He excavated the mound at Nimrud, believing to have found the ancient city of Nineveh (he would discover that this was actually at Kuyunjik after the publication of his book). From the library of Dr. Oliver Sacks, the renowned neurologist, author, and educator. He was, in his life, celebrated for his contributions to the understanding of the human brain and his ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to a broader audience. In doing so, he highlighted the profound impact of neurological disorders on human identity and experience. His library is a reflection of this remarkable polymath's questing mind. Posthumously designed book plate by a friend of Oliver's, incorporating his longstanding love of cephalopods. Moderate toning and shelfwear, bumped/rubbed corners and spine, scuffing to boards, foxing throughout, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Half dark red calf over marbled boards.

Pencil annotations, blue endpapers. Ex-libris plates on ffep.
