Die Ausweisung der Deutschen aus China. Eine Darstellung der Ereignisse auf Grund englischer Shanghaier Zeitungen vom Oktober 1918 bis April 1919. Bando: Lagerdruckerei des Kriegsgefangenlagers 1919. 26,4 x 19,2 cm. Frontispiece and 2 additional full-page lithographic illustrations, plus 1 facsimile of a newspaper article with a translation. XI pp., 1 blank page, pp. 1–393, 2 unnumbered pages, pp. 394–402. Bound with a slip of paper before p. 393. Original green linen.

(Spine faded. Cover has minimal water stains. Handwritten entry on the endpaper: “Dräge.”)
