"Nearly" 400 photographic illustrations. A fine example of the boyish exuberance of the beginning of the industrial age, when the triumphant White Man and his Noble God were destined to rule the known world and all its native wonders as toys for the expansion of empire, no mind to the rape of the earth and any non-Christians who happen to live there. Cut the giant forests to build ships! We grow great like a virus!
