Book Description

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Aperture, 2003. 3rd Printing. Hard Cover. New/New. Wulsin, Janet Elliot and Frederick. NEW - "Don't fall for the temptation that this extraordinary book presents to get lost in the pictures - because, as wonderful as the photographs are, it's a great story. Author Mabel Cabot has painstakingly put together the pieces to create a fascinating and beautiful book." - Cokie Roberts, ABC News, National Public Radio. This is the story of Janet Elliott Wulsin and her husband, Frederick, as they set out for the far reaches of Tibet, China, and Mongolia in the early 1920's. Their purpose was to study the people, flora, and fauna of the region. Janet's strenuous, eventful exploration is detailed by a text enriched with vivid observations from her candid personal letters. The journey proved to be a test of the Wulsins' endurance and of their relationship. Both took photographs of the worlds they explored. Photographic records of these regions are rare, and this book offers a perspective on an expedition, at a time, and a place that continues to command our interest and attention. A fabulous book! 190 pages, 9 7/8" x 11 1/2". 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
