Journal of the North-China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society for the year ..
This is a periodical volume, the Journal of the North-China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, published in Shanghai by Kelley & Walsh in 1906 and edited by Charles Lang Freer for a scholarly readership of China specialists. Its plates are photographs of village life and terrain, captioned from the author's expedition notes: a village path, a group portrait before a village gate, a dry stony riverbed crossed by a line of walkers, and a rotated view of a village house. A designer could take the candid documentary framing, the plain captioned plate layout, and the bold contrast of figures against rock and foliage.
