EXPLANATORY LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS TO VOLUME II.
Portrait bearing the inscription “MARCUS POLVS
VENETVS TOTIVS ORBIS ET INDIE PEREGRATOR PRIMVS.”
In the Gallery of Monsignor Badia at Rome;
copied by Sign. GIUSEPPE GNOLI, Rome.
Medallion, representing Marco Polo in the PRISON of
GENOA, dictating his story to Master RUSTICIAN of
PISA, drawn by Signor QUINTO CENNI from a rough design
by Sir HENRY YULE.
The celebrated CHRISTIAN INSCRIPTION OF SI-NGAN FU.
Photolithographed by Mr W. GRIGG, from a Rubbing of
the original monument, given to the Editor by the
Baron F. von Richthofen.
This rubbing is more complete than that
used in the first edition, for
which the Editor was indebted to the kindness
of William Lockhart, Esq.
The LAKE of TALI (CARAJAN of Polo) from the Northern
End. Woodcut after Lieut. DELAPORTE, borrowed
from Lieut. GARNIER’S Narrative in the Tour
du Monde.
Suspension Bridge, neighbourhood of TALI. From
a photograph by M. Tannant.
The CITY of MIEN, with the Gold and Silver Towers.
From a drawing by the Editor, based upon his sketches
of the remains of the City so called by Marco Polo,
viz., PAGAN, the mediaeval capital of Burma.
Itineraries of Marco Polo. No. V. The INDO-CHINESE
COUNTRIES. With a small sketch extracted from
a Chinese Map in the possession of Baron von Richthofen,
showing the position of KIEN-CH’ANG, the Caindu
of Marco Polo.
Sketch Map exhibiting the VARIATIONS of the TWO GREAT
RIVERS of China, within the Period of History.
The CITY of SU-CHAU. Reduced by the Editor from
a Rubbing of a Plan incised on Marble, and preserved
in the Great Confucian Temple in the City.
The date of the original set of Maps,
of which this was one, is uncertain, owing to the
partial illegibility of the Inscription; but it is
subsequent to A.D. 1000. They were engraved on
the Marble A.D. 1247. Many of the names have
been obliterated, and a few of those given in the
copy are filled up from modern information, as the
Editor learns from Mr. Wylie, to whom he owes this
valuable illustration.
Map of HANG-CHAU FU and its LAKE, from Chinese Sources.
