Author: MADROLLE (Claudius)
Title: Northern China. The Valley of the Blue River, Korea.
Description: Hachette, 1912, 18 x 13 cm. "The kind reception given by the reading public to our earlier volumes on China has encouraged us in presenting a second edition completely revised and brought up-to-date. Careful account has been taken of the remarkable economic development which has taken place in China during the last few years, as well as of the greatly increased facilities for visiting important places and remarkable buildings offered by the recent extensions of her railway system. We have passed but lightly over those parts of the country which are ill-supplied with means of communication, to give more space to descriptions of interesting points that have either been made accessible by railways or can be reached by sea or river navigation. These itineraries are arranged in order of provinces and the latter grouped regionally. Korea, having become a Japanese posses-sion, is now more frequented by tourists ; it is crossed to reach Japan." Nice copy. Premier guide Madrolle en anglais.. percaline rouge, typographie sinisée,, P. London, très bel état. 12 p. + XXVIII + 471 p. + 12 p. (n. & i.) +8 p.
