Was this China in 1934?

The illustrated volumes of "Peoples of All Nations" by J.A. Hammerton, were also published as 60 weekly magazines. China is described in pages 341 to 378 of Parts 15 and 16 and these, together with the end covers, make up 47 pages of the booklet with about 100 photographs and text to describe the people's dress, customes and way of life in the years before 1934. The colour photographs appear in black and white in the print, and they are shown on the cover in colour. You may be fascinated to see the difference between the 1934 concept of China and the Modern China pictures broadcast during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The final pages include a guide to English pronunciation using keywords and a 1000 word list in phonetic order. Six novel 'Wordcraft' (TM) crossword puzzles provide further English practice for EFL (English as a foreign language) students as well as native English speakers of all ages and TEFL teachers.
