Around the World on a Bicycle ... From Teheran to Yokohama. With ... illustrations
Thomas Stevens's account of the second half of his bicycle journey around the world, from Teheran to Yokohama, published in London by Sampson Low in 1888 for a general readership of armchair travellers. The 71 line drawings show street crowds, mounted escorts, bazaar and roadside scenes across Persia, India, China and Japan, drawn in open pen hatching with large areas of blank paper, useful for figure groups, crowd silhouettes and period cycling imagery.
