Soft cover. Condition: VG. Otto H. Bacher, E. L. Major, Jacob Wells (illustrator). (1890 - 1891), 60 pages, printed in double columns, illustrated with about 75 drawings by Bacher and Major, and 2 maps by Wells, one of the Chinese Empire showing the author's route, the other a route map of explorations in the Koko-Nor, Ts'aidam, and Eastern Tibet, red library stamp noted at first page, else very clean and bright throughout, salvaged from damaged issues of The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Volume XLI, Nos. 1 - 5, November & December, 1890, and January - March, 1891. Sections include Through Northern China To The Koko Nor, The Border Land Of China, Among The Mongols Of The Azure Lake, Northern Tibet And The Yellow River, and Through Eastern Tibet And Central China. The author, Rockhill, was a U. S. Minister to China, and a Tibetan scholar whose donations to the Library of Congress of Tibetan books acquired in Tibet and Mongolia between 1888 and 1892 formed the beginning of the Library's Tibetan collection. Based on his relationship with the Chinese government during his service as Minister, he was allowed unprecedented and nearly unrestricted access to Tibet, unheard of for a Westerner. These are the installment articles by Rockhill published serially in the pages of Century Magazine that recount his extended visit. As he notes in the Preface, he was the first white man to step foot in many of the places. Later in 1891, The Century Company would publish the author's book, The Land Of The Lamas: Notes Of A Journey Through China, Mongolia, And Tibet. The Smithsonian Institution would follow in 1894 with the publication of the author's, Diary Of A Journey Through Mongolia And Tibet In 1891 And 1892, and later, in 1895, the author's article, Notes On The Ethnology Of Tibet, in the Annual Report. Housed in protective mylar report cover.
