Description
Isabella Bird's Photographic Journal of Travels Through China is a lavish pictorial record of her remarkable journey to 19th-century China. In collaboration with the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), this book features 200 unique photographs taken by Isabella Bird, offering a rare glimpse into a largely misunderstood land. The supporting text was written by travel photography expert Debbie Ireland, providing context and insight into Bird's experiences. The journey took place in the closing years of the 19th century, when a woman travelling alone was often met with incredulity and hostility. Despite these challenges, Bird made it to the valley of the Yangtze River and beyond, right up to the border with Tibet. This book is a unique and fascinating record of one woman's adventures in a foreign land, showcasing the beauty and culture of China through Isabella Bird's remarkable photographs.
