Description :

There is pencil in the front of one volume noting "scarce". UNKNOWN MONGOLIA – A RECORD OF TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION IN
NORTH-WEST MONGOLIA AND DZUNGARIA by Douglas Carruthers. Hardcover. 1913,
Hutchinson & Co. (London UK). Vol. 1: 318 pages with fold-out maps. Vol. 2:
659 pages with fold-out maps. 2 volume set detailing Siberia, the upper Yenisei Basin, the
Uriankhai & Turgin Highlands, the high Altai, the Dungans, and much more.
Each book has multiple foldout maps in good condition with copious black & white photographic illustrations not typical of a hunting book of this era. The book serves as a cultural study of the area, too, as the author speaks of local traditions, hunting habits, etc. Same set listing from rare book seller: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=carruthers&ds=10&fe=on&n=100121503&sortby=17&tn=unknown+mongolia&cm_sp=pan-_-srp-_-fe
