RARE. We have been unable to trace any copy of this work, which may have had a print run of only 400 copies, sold at auction in over 40 years. The atlas volume only, apparently from a set of 6 volumes.
"Émile Licent (1876-1952) was a French Jesuit. He arrived at Tianjin in 1914, and established the Musée Hoangho Paiho (it was known as the "Beijiang Museum" among the Chinese), one of the earliest of its kind in China. He spent more than twenty-five years researching in Tianjin... His expeditions with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), who arrived in China in 1923, spread across various parts of Northern and Central China (including the provinces of Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau" (Western Travellers in China).
