Peking to Lhasa : the narrative of journeys in the Chinese empire made by the late Brigadier-General George Pereira
1925, First Edition. London : Constable and Co. Very good copy in the original gilt-blocked navy blue cloth boards, now with minor scuffs and corners slightly bumped. Spine rubbed, with particular wear and minor tears on the endbands. Front free endpaper creased, and p. 1 shows a minor smudge on the upper corner. Overall, the text block remains tight, bright and clean. Folded maps remain crisp and clean; both starting to detach, with a small, closed tear to the second. A well-preserved example overall.
