Plates in fine condition one plate is on a smaller sheet of paper but does not appear to have been cut down spine is split and pages are loose. This is a single semi-monthly part of what appears to be the American edition of "China in a Series of Views Displaying the Scenery Architecture and Social Habits of that Ancient Empire." designed to de-mystify the great empire of China.

The engravings are: Temple of the Bonzes in the Quang Yen Rock; Ancient Bridge Chapoo; Military Station near the City of Chokian / Melon Islands and Irrigating Wheel. Subscription publication was common during the 19th century making publications more affordable to the rapidly expanding middle class market and this method where illustrations and text are unrelated was used to deter subscribers from quitting partway through their subscription. The advertisement on the back cover gives the title "The Chinese Empire: A Comprehensive History of the Manners Customs Industries and Arts of the Chinese. by Rev. G.N. Wright. Magnificently Illustrated with Numerous Steel Engravings from Sketches taken on the Spot. by T. Allom Esq."
