Highlights from SAHARA: China
Nov 16, 2015
by
Jacqueline Spafford and Jeffrey Klee, SAHARA Co-Editor
This month we’re highlighting the content in SAHARA from one country: China. There are nearly 3,000 images of historic and contemporary structures, cities and towns, and designed landscapes representing China. The range of content and the regions covered is remarkable, and attests to the varied research interests and travels of our contributors. Below are a few samples. Please visit SAHARA to explore what else it holds.
To visit this collection, and see what else SAHARA holds, go to: http://sahara.artstor.org/library/portals/SAHARA/rloginSAH.html
