A British travel narrative of Korea, written by Alfred Cavendish with Captain H. E. Goold-Adams's account of climbing Paektu, published in London by G. Philip & Son in 1894 for armchair readers and geographers. Among the plates are halftone reproductions of Korean genre paintings: groups of robed figures with wide black hats, blacksmiths at a clay furnace, women spinning and winding thread, a flogging before a seated official \u2014 sparse figure groupings on blank ground, useful as silhouettes, costume reference, and line-drawn tools.
