Scarce and early western work on junks, not to be confused with the author’s larger, probably later, and more common “Chinese Junks and Other Native Craft.” This is published by Kelly and Walsh, Shanghai publishers. I have found one other citation for it, which dates in ca. 1920s, and this is the date given in the Preface. The book consists of 28 drawings of Chinese junks tipped onto blank pages. It is bound in paper wraps over pasteboard, with a cover illustration by Donnelly tipped on. Some chipping to wraps, tape repair to front inner hinge, else very good condition
