Edwards, Amelia Ann Blanford. A Thousand Miles Up the Nile. London: George Routledge & Sons, Limited, 1891.

A Thousand Miles Up the Nile is a book that’s binding and illustrations caught my eye. Made from leather, the cover art features many different color cobinations with black, brown, white, and gold. The cover features gilt lettering, gilt camels and pyramids and collided illustrations in a city streets.  This novel is about t is a about the Nile River and Egypt.  The author Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards travelled throughout Egypt at a time when most women didn’t leave home. This book looks like a modern novel in the way the words fit on the page and the size of the actual novel.
