Berlin, Dietrich Reimer, 1877. 4to (28.2 x 20.8 cm). xliv, 758 pp.; 29 text engravings, 11 finely coloured, folded, or double-folded maps. Original pictorial red cloth. Spine with gilt title and black vignette (Chinese dragon). Front board with gilt and black pattered borders, gilt title and black landscape with dragons, turtle with epitaph, and mountains. Bevelled edges. Brown endpapers. Marbled edges. The first volume of this important series, which is rarely found complete. This is the volume that contains the introduction of the "Silk Road" (Seidenstraße) as an entity. In 2015, Sotheby's sold a complete set for GBP 47,500: "7 volumes, comprising 5 volumes text, 4to (282 x 200mm) and 2 volumes atlas, large oblong folio (455 x 560mm), numerous plates and maps in text volumes, illustrations, atlases with 54 coloured maps, original pictorial cloth. A fine copy of a rare work. Because the publication project spanned thirty-five years, complete sets are very rare and we have been unable to trace any at auction. These monumental volumes are the fruit of Richthofen s seven celebrated journeys throughout China in 1868-72. The first volume is the introduction; the second volume covers Northern China, the third, Southern China. The fourth and fifth volumes are devoted to palaeontology and conclusions. The works encompass Richthofen s geographical, geological, economic, and ethnological findings. Richthofen coined the term 'Silk Road' (Seidenstrasse), referring to the route by which silk came from China to ancient Rome, in the first volume of this work in the chapter on 'Trade Routes in Tarim Basin in the 1st-2nd Centuries.'". Contains large text engravings and fine, large, coloured maps of various parts of China, and larger parts of Asia. Cordier I, 96; DSB, Vol. 11, pp. 439-440; Henze IV, 613.
