“Behind a bend of the Maenam, the entire town of Bangkok appeared in sight. I do not believe that there is a sight in the world more magnificent or more striking.”– Ludovic Marquis de Beauvoir, on seeing Bangkok

Marquis Ludovic de Beauvoir was a 19th-century century voyager, most known for his travels around the world from 1865-1867. He ventured to Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Japan, and the United States. When he returned, he wrote a complete account of that journey, filled with beautiful, detailed illustrations. Many of these illustrations include:

Great Wall of China
Japanese officers; military colonels – costumes and dress
Palaces and tombs, architecture
Colored map of Southeast Asia, Indonesia
Asian camels, caravans
Beauvoir gives all sorts of unusual details about China and Japan, including the strange ceremonies and incineration rites. He also discusses his encounters with great crocodiles and rhinoceros hunts. This volume also includes details on Colorado, California, and Saratoga, New York
