The Yangtse Gorge: a photographic souvenir [cover title]

N.p., n.d. ca. 1915 [?]. Only edition; small 8vo, consisting of a preface leaf, and 14 mounted silver-print photographs, each with an accompanying page of descriptive text, plus a folding map; original red cloth lettered in silver on the upper cover; a few small stains on the upper cover, else fine. "This small book is not intended to give a detailed account of the Gorges. It is more of a souvenir for those who possess no camera, or having one have been unfortunate with the weather. Some descriptive notes are given, also other useful information. Distances are quoted, and given a fair average speed of 7.5 knots for the upbound vessel, the time of its passing the various places can easily be calculated" (Preface). OCLC locates the Chinese University of Hong Kong, UC-Davis and Oregon copies only, all with the wrong title, "The Yangtse Gorges." Item #67380
