Description

Marco Polo's journey through the East began in 1271—when, still a teenager, he set out of Venice and found himself traversing the most exotic countries. His acceptance into the court of the great emperor Kublai Khan, and his service to the vast and dazzling Mongol empire, led him to places as far away as Tibet and Burma, lands rich with gems and gold and silk, but virtually unknown to Europeans. Book belonged to Benjamin and Mary Urman Jacobson. Brown cloth binding with once-gold colored spine print. 359 pages. Hardcover. Undated. 5" x 7.5"
