Quaint Corners of Ancient Empires: Southern India, Burma, and Manila ... Illustrated
A travel account of southern India, Burma and Manila by American writer Michael Myers Shoemaker, published by G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1899 for English-language readers at home. The 61 halftone plates show temple towns, palace durbar halls with checkered floors, a state procession of caparisoned elephants, and a standing Buddha framed by a pagoda arch, giving designers architectural silhouettes and crowd scenes in soft grey tone.
