Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: No DJ. First Edition. Vintage Hardcover, no DJ First Edition 1923 The Century Company 502 pages. Good+, No DJ. Moderate shelf/edge wear to green cloth boards with black titles and illustration on front panel of the Great Wall seen through an bricked arch - corners lightly bumped with wear to the tips. Some fraying to spine edges. No previous owner markings - all pages are clean and unmarked. Wonderful vintage travel book with 26 chapters and 171 unusual photographs taken by the celebrated travel author Harry Franck and a fold-out map of the route taken. Harry Alverson Franck was born on June 29, 1881 in Munger, Michigan. In the summer of 1900, following his freshman year at the University of Michigan, Harry Franck set out with only $3.18 in his pocket to see Europe. He worked his way across the Atlantic on a cattle boat, visited England and France, and got back to Ann Arbor two weeks after classes had started. Franck had many adventures, not all of them pleasant, but all described in his plain, somewhat sardonic style, which was the antithesis of the highly romantic prose of other popular travel writers, such as Richard Halliburton. All his books except Winter Journey Through the Ninth are out of print. In Wandering in Northern China (1923), he visited Korea, which had been a Japanese colony since 1910. A very respectable vintage copy lacking the DJ. LOC SSS-25.
