Door Oost-Perzië / De Aarde en haar Volken, 1906

A British traveller recounts a late-19th-century journey across northern and eastern Persia, detailing coastal crossings of the Caspian, stops at Bandar-Gaz and Astrabad, routes inland toward Mashhad, the Lut desert, and Kirman, blending practical travel notes—routes, climate, telegraph and railway impacts—with ethnographic observations of local people, dress, food, and landscape transitions from mangrove-like lagoons and mosquito-ridden jungle to mountainous, Kashmir-like scenery and arid plains; the account combines sketches of towns, ruins and forts with everyday encounters with officials, guides and ordinary inhabitants.
