Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Eugène Delacroix, Edwin Lord Weeks and Vasily Vereshchagin. A missionary's daughter returns from Asia carrying knowledge of a cult that means to take the world, and a government agent has to believe her. Chambers wrote it in 1920 out of the red scare and the occult revival at once. This edition binds 58 plates of painting with the text, among them works by Nicholas Roerich, Vasily Vereshchagin and Miner Kilbourne Kellogg, dating from 1845 to 1927.
