Journal of the North-China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society for the year ..

Freer, Charles Lang · 1906 · Shanghai : Kelley & Walsh · 2 pictures

A scholarly periodical, the journal of the North-China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, issued in Shanghai in 1906 by Kelley & Walsh for specialists in Chinese history and civilization. Its two pictures are a plain plan of a fortified riverside position with a key, drawn in fine black line on cream paper, and a grey halftone oval portrait of a bearded man in formal dress, captioned with his name. A designer might take from the plan its clean schematic linework and labelled legend, and from the portrait the restrained oval vignette framing.
