See Nerhood, 'To Russia and Return' 415.Sven Anders Hedin (1865-1952) was a Swedish explorer and geographer. In 1885, he went to Persia as a tutor and was attached to a Swedish-Norwegian embassy to the Shah in 1890. He made many journeys into uncharted areas, particularly in the Himilayas (1893-1898), the Gobi Desert, and Tibet. This title records his impressions while on a journey to make astronomical measurements during the Anglo-Russian boundary dispute of 1893-1894. His account contains much information on the local peoples' way of life and contains two large folding maps - both coloured - and numerous black-and-white photo plates, taken by Hedin, as well as reproductions of some of his sketches.
