The book of Ser Marco Polo, the Venetian : concerning the kingdoms and marvels of the East
Henry Yule's annotated English edition of Marco Polo's travels, published by John Murray in London in 1871 for scholars and general readers of exploration literature. Wood engravings mix Asian coastal and mountain landscapes, palm-shaded valleys, harbour scenes of a fleet under sail, and small vignette strips of waterside buildings, offering horizon-band compositions, fine parallel-line skies and water, and spot illustrations.
