FRIEDRICH WELCKER: Tagebuch einer Griechischen Reise. Berlin 1865 First edition. In 8vo (19x13 cm). Contemporary leather over marbled boards, one cover slightly trimmed. Text clean and bright with only isolated spots in a few pages. Complete in two volumes: 344 p., 338 p. Overall in very good condition. Welcker (1784–1868), a distinguished German classical scholar and pioneer of archaeology, travelled extensively in Greece between 1841 and 1843. This publication offers a comprehensive summary of his travels, compiled after his retirement from his professorship. It reflects both his first-hand observations in Greece and his profound philological and archaeological expertise. A valuable record of mid-19th century Greece by one of the formative figures in German archaeology.
