Description: This is a rare and valuable book titled "Annals of the Court of Peking from the 16th to 20th Century", which was written by E. Backhouse and J. O. P. Bland. It has a worn but sturdy hardcover binding and was published by William Heinemann in London in March, 1914. The book covers the history of Chinese court life and includes detailed illustrations by an unknown artist, including a huge foldout panoramic view of the forbidden city. This collector's edition book is a must-have for any history enthusiast or book collector. It has special attributes such as the fact that the Heinemann Editions predate the American Edition, and is an ex-library copy. Of note is that the title page bears the name of an early owner, with a June 1915 date, along with the note that they rode on the American passenger liner the S.S. Manchuria. This 1st edition book is in its original form and is a great addition to any collection.
