The East India Company's resident at Baghdad, Claudius James Rich (1786/7–1821) travelled from 1820 in Kurdistan and beyond. An important record of the region's geography, culture and archaeology, this two-volume work was edited by his widow and published in 1836. Volume 2 includes coverage of Nineveh, Shiraz and Persepolis.
