The Caravan Route Between Egypt and Syria (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)

Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria (1847-1915) was a distant and undistinguished member of the ruling House of Habsburg-Lorraine, the fourth son of Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany. He is known as a champion for Majorca's wildlife, in an era when the term "conservation" meant nothing. He settled on Majorca, buying up wild areas in order to preserve and enjoy it. In Prerov nad Labem, Bohemia he founded the first open air museum in Central and Eastern Europe. He wrote a book on insects at the age of 22 and also the nine-volume book Die Balearen (The Balearic Islands) which took 22 years to complete. He explored on his steam-yacht the Nixe. He was known for his extreme love of animals and nature.
