Stein, Aurel: ANCIENT KHOTAN. Detailed Report of Archaeological Explorations in Chinese Turkestan. 古代和闐考. Beijing, 1941. xxiv, 621; vii pp. 119 plates. Map. 2 vols. 28x20 cm. Wrappers.


A rare and unrecorded Peking reprint of the two-volume 1907 original edition. Undoubtedly done in a very small edition. Uncut copy with loss to the top and bottom of the spine of both volumes. Also slight chipping to the covers. Typical of other copies we have handled over the years.
