Soft cover, binding condition: Very Good, jacket condition: Very Good, 27 x 18 cm, 247 pp., English, 1st Edition, illustrations, book condition: Very Good This work was originally Malone's dissertation at the University of Illinois in 1928 and was published in 1934 as part of the "Illinois Studies in the Social Sciences". The book is an in-depth historical and architectural study of the imperial gardens of the Qing dynasty in Beijing (now Beijing). It addresses the development, use, and eventual destruction of the summer palaces, particularly the Yuanmingyuan (the Old Summer Palace) and the Yiheyuan (the current Summer Palace). Malone based his research on rare Chinese documents ("????" or construction regulations) from the Library of Congress and includes numerous historical photographs, maps, and plans of the palaces. It describes how these locations served as summer retreats for emperors such as Kangxi and Qianlong, and how they formed a mix of traditional Chinese architecture and European influences (such as the baroque fountains designed by Jesuits).
