Descrizione

ix, [1], [1], 2-82, [1] pages. Glossary. Two-colour foldout map of The Yangtsze Kiang inside front board. Four-panel foldout map of the Yangtze River, Ichang to Chungking, inside back board. 8.75" x 6.75". Printed upon light tan glossy stock. Black and white sketches in text. Author served with Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd. "Intended to provide the would-be visitor to this part of China with the precise information necessary to make the journey up the 'Great River' or 'Ta Kiang', as the Chinese mostly call it, as comfortably as possible." - Foreword. Mentions how changes of the last decade have rendered similar publications outdated. One can scarcely imagine the extent of the changes which have taken place along the river after China's all-world infrastructure development of recent decades. Light wear to chocolate brown patterned string-bound boards lettered in gilt. Yellowed tape remnants inside each board. Small bit of peeling from first foldout map. A high-quality copy of this pleasing vintage guide to travel along China's mighty Yangtsze-Kiang. Book
