Description

1780 HUGE CHINA MAP & Voyages Mandarin Chinese Theatre Military Funeral Procession

The best book of its kind!

A rare book La Harpe’s ‘General History of Voyages’! This extensive work was begun by La Harpe, and, after the first 21 volumes, was completed by a number of other historians. Not only does this work describe the geography of specific voyages, but it covers the sciences, commerce, religion, and customs of people groups from Africa, Asia, Americas, and Pacific Islands.

According to Sabin, La Harpe’s ‘Voyages’ is

“a work that has met with greater success than any other of the same kind; the fidelity of the narration, the striking details of adventures, and the lively pictures of manners, etc., it presents, will always give it a peculiar and lasting merit. Contains all the early voyages of America.”

This volume 7 includes discussions and information on the history of China and European voyages in China. It also includes views of

Large map of China (folding)

Clothing of Chinese royalty and Emperors

Chinese women

Chinese theater and actors

View of a Chinese funeral procession (folding)

Chinese feasts of the dead in a garden

Mandarin military and civilian men; Tartary and Chinese clothing
