China: Its Marvel and Mystery

by T. Hodgson Liddell 

illustrated by the author

Written and illustrated by Liddell, here is a magnificent tribute to China's exotic beauty. The color paintings picture in full-color the splendor not only of China's natural landscapes, its sunsets and vegetation, but also the diversity, originality and variety of its urban landscapes, its typical buildings, temples, residential areas, and port places. Written as a travel account and narrated with detailed descriptions from a traveller fascinated with the country he discovers, and the beauty of which he unfolds before the reader, this volume constitutes a priceless travel guide to China's cities and the diversity of its many places and landscapes. 203 pages. 8 x 10.25 inches.

Lavishly illustrated with 40 full-color paintings by the author, and some other points of interest such as a facsimile reproduction of passport in Chinese. Publisher's mark on front fep.
