 An original watercolor painting by Sowerby, April 25, 1908, reproduced in
Through Sh锚n-Kan. Just prior to the Clark Expedition, Sowerby joined the
Duke of Bedford鈥檚 Zoological Exploration in Eastern Asia with Anderson to
collect animal specimens in the Ordos desert. The fortress shown is on the
northern section of the Great Wall on the borders of Shaanxi and Ordos, which
are three miles north of Yulin.
The Great Wall in Yulin Desert Li Ju
A Fort in Zhenbeitai, Yulin, Shaanxi. January 4, 2009
Renovated in 1990. Sowerby used to do his sketching and paintings just to
the left rear of the photo. A dog was barking ferociously at me when I stood
on the roof to take these photos, so I could not get closer to his viewpoint.
