Photos from Ruins of Desert Cathay, by Xenophon See: http://www.xenophon-mil.org/china/centralasia/ruincathyphotos.htm. The reproductions in the online text of Ruins don’t do justice to Stein’s photography, which makes this website by the Xenophon Military History Group invaluable. Stein’s photos from the book are reproduced here in very good quality.
