First and only edition. Numerous photographic illustrations and sketches (partly in colour). Folio. Original cloth, a very good copy. 87pp. Shanghai, Kelly & Walsh, A rare Kelly & Walsh imprint and one of the most evocatively illustrated books of the period. The work follows Mr. Pim and Mr. Wu on their perambulations through Pek…ing and it's surroundings. The mixture of excellent photography with sketches by the caricaturist Schiff makes for a thoroughly enjoyable item. Friedrich Schiff (1908-1968) was born in Austria and came to China at the age of twenty-two. Here he worked as charicaturist for several newspapers, designed postcards, illustrated books, and even painted murals in public buildings and clubs in Shanghai. The Historical Museum in Vienna devoted a small exhibition to Schiff in March 2002. Catleen was Ellen Thorbecke's (1902-1973) maiden name. She married the Dutch ambassador to China Willem Thorbecke in the early 30s.
