Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. vi, 152 pages : illustrations, maps, plans ; 31 cm. At first sight, it seems scarcely possible that London & .c Actually Survey'd, and A large and Accurate Map of the City of London that preceded it by six yeas having been completed in December 1676, could have been the work of the same team of people. The map of the City seems the very model of merchant sobriety and scientific clarity, combining understated elegance with an almost total lack of decoration. London & .c Actually Survey'd dazzles with its flamboyant use of text as well as image which in places threaten to overwhelm the map. The difference between the two maps can only fully be understood in the context of the very different political situations prevailing at the times of their publications--Peter Barker.…

He was rescued from him, and lived for many years in a happy home with pleasant surroundings, where he enjoyed a wide local celebrity." (Preface) Exceedingly scarce in Dust Jacket. Beloved story, set in Maine, of a self-described "cur". Beautiful Joe is told in "first-dog" (from Joe's point of view). "The story of Beautiful Joe," the uglyh dog, has had an influence in the lives of millions of children and will be read with delight by millions more in the years to come."

Zustand: Good. 25.3x19.5cm. Containing eight original Woodbury photographs of the Woosung Railway (Wusong Railway) — the first modern railway in China — this volume documents the earliest phase of railway construction and operation in the country. The photographs capture the arrival of China's first locomotive "Pioneer", the unloading of railway materials and construction workers along the Huangpu River, group portraits of Chinese and foreign participants at the opening ceremony, full views of the "Pioneer" locomotive and its carriages in operation, panoramic views of Woosung Station, and Western passengers posing on the train. These images represent the only surviving photographic record of the Woosung Railway, and scholars have suggested that they were probably taken by the renowned Shanghai photographer William Saunders. In addition to the photographs, the book includes a detailed written account of the construction and operation of the Woosung Railway, providing invaluable documentation for the study of the early history of railway development in China. The Woosung Railway, connecting Shanghai and Woosung, was the first passenger-carrying railway in China. Built in 1876 by British merchants without official approval, it operated for only sixteen months before being purchased by the Qing government for 285,000 taels of silver and subsequently dismantled. Covers slightly rubbed and soiled. Interior clean and well preserved, with a few pencil annotations.…
