About the book-: This book has its origin in the desire of the author's fellow-countryman, Mr. Vincent Benedix, of Chicago, to erect a Lamaist temple, either an original or a replica, in Stockholm and another in Chicago. Sir Sven Hedin, to whom the commission was entrusted, elected to make a replica of the Golden Temple in Potala of Jehol, the city which was once the summer residence of the Manchu emperors. The plans and drawings were made and the material—collected even down to the paint—in the summer of 1930 with the assistance of Chinese architects and draughtsmen. At the time this book was being written, the replica for Chicago, with the accessories of the ritual, had reached its destination and was awaiting erection. About The Author -: Sven Anders Hedin, KNO1kl RVO was a Swedish geographer, topographer, explorer, photographer, travel writer and illustrator of his own works. During four expeditions to Central Asia, he made the Transhimalaya known in the West and located sources of the Brahmaputra, Indus and Sutlej Rivers. He also mapped Lake Lop Nur, and the remains of cities, grave sites and the Great Wall of China in the deserts of the Tarim Basin. In his book Från pol till pol (From Pole to Pole), Hedin describes a journey through Asia and Europe between the late 1880s and the early 1900s. While travelling, Hedin visited Turkey, the Caucasus, Tehran, Iraq, lands of the Kyrgyz people and the Russian Far East, India, China and Japan. The posthumous publication of his Central Asia Atlas marked the conclusion of his life's work. The Title 'Jehol: City Of Emperors written/authored/edited by Sven Hedin', published in the year 2021.
