Abstract:

This study was based on the impressions of British traveller Edwin John Davis (1826- 1901) about Adana and its around during his trip to Turkey in 1875. Serving as a religious official in British institutions in Alexandria, E. J. Davis has also a master’s degree in fine arts. Likewise, he published a translated book about the Ottoman proverbs in his country. In the travelbook of Davis, there are essentially descriptions, pictures, and information about Southern Anatolia. The facts that Davis is an intellectual person who made observations in various regions of Turkey and his travelbook concentrates on Adana and its around make his impressions more important. In this study, various travelbook giving information about Adana and its around will also be utilized.
