To The Snows Of Tibet Through China (1892) is a travelogue written by Antwerp Edgar Pratt, detailing his journey through China and Tibet in the late 19th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each describing a different leg of his journey, starting from Shanghai and ending in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Pratt's vivid descriptions of the landscape, people and culture of China and Tibet offer a unique insight into the region during a time of great change and upheaval. He recounts his encounters with local people, including Tibetan monks, nomads and traders, and describes the customs and traditions of the different communities he encounters along the way. The book also provides a historical perspective on the political tensions between China and Tibet at the time, as well as the influence of British imperialism in the region. Pratt's observations on the impact of colonialism on the local population and the natural environment are particularly insightful.Overall, To The Snows Of Tibet Through China (1892) is a fascinating account of a journey through a remote and mysterious region, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of travel and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
