拍品資料及來源
THE RARE RUSSIAN FIRST EDITION, together with the first French and English editions. Piassetsky (1843-1919) was a doctor and artist who took part in Colonel Sosnovsky's expedition to China. They travelled via Ulan Bator, Beijing and Tianjin to Shanghai, then up the Yangtze river and back via Lake Zaysan. This land route (taken for the purposes of exploring overland trade routes) was unusual in western travel to China, which generally took place by sea. The expedition's photographer, Boyarsky, was responsible for the most substantial early western photography of Mongolia.
