The Yangtze valley and beyond : an account of journeys in China, chiefly in the province of Sze Chuan and among the Man-tze of the Somo territory
Isabella Bird's 1899 travel account published in London by John Murray, describing journeys through Sichuan and the Yangtze valley in China for a British general readership. Its plates are grey halftone photographs of riverside scenes, town walls, and street views, rotated on the page in several cases, useful to a designer seeking Chinese river landscape and architecture references of the period.
