A delightfully - illustrated book that embraces Shanghai proper in almost every form. It commences with a concise history of Shanghai and proceeds through 83 pages of
clever sketches in a riot of illustrations, amusingly colour, by Schiff, photographs in sepia and text dealing with trade, imports, exports, population, hotels, newspapers, exchange shops, traffic, temples, Chinese food, places of interest, beggars, funerals, public health, etc.
This is a book that will afford not only interest to the tourist, but will prove a veritable mine of information,
Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
