Salt had previously visited Ethiopia in 1805 as part of Viscount Valentia's entourage visiting Massawa Aksum Adwa and other parts of Tegré. He returned to Ethiopia in 1809 on a government mission to treat with the Ethiopian Emperor Egwale Seyon in Gondar but unrest prevented him from going further than Tegré. Salt instead spent two years recording the geography wildlife and people of the region including his own accomplished drawings and views of his surroundings. He visited the early Christian monastery of Dabra Damo and the pre-Aksumite capital Yeha as well as the towns of Chelaqot Antalo Adwa and Aksum where he recorded a fourth-century stone inscription. On his return he was soon elevated to General Consul of Egypt and would go on to be one of Britain's greatest promoters of Egyptology. Blackmer 1479; Gay 2683; Pankhurst 12.
