Exemplaire un peu déboîté, toile frottée. Etiquette au dos.‎

‎Édition originale, peu commune, de l'un des premiers voyages d'exploration au Tibet, documentant également la révolte musulmane qui agita le Qinghai, dite seconde Révolte des Dounganes (1895-1896), et qui fut provoquée par des affrontements entre deux confréries soufis appartenant à la tariqa Naqshbandiyya. Sa répression féroce connut très peu d'écho en Occident, par suite du petit nombre de témoins européens. - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT - LIEN DE PAIEMENT, NOUS CONSULTER.‎
