Originally published in 1897-98, the text that goes along with these photos is not very interesting, so I've only displayed the photos.  to see the source page: http://chestofbooks.com/travel/china/John-Stoddard-Lectures/index.html

Some of these photo are from an interesting angle.  Thre is some artistic license, as birds in flight are introduced that are not on other versions of these same photos.  (a nice touch)
