A. von Schmidt auf Altenstadt

Best known for a Dutch travel memoir about Korea and China, this writer offers a rare firsthand window into East Asia as seen by a European traveler of the time. Very little biographical information is easy to confirm, which gives the surviving work an added sense of curiosity and discovery.

About the author

A. von Schmidt auf Altenstadt is listed by Project Gutenberg as the author of Reisherinneringen uit Korea en China, a Dutch-language travel account. The book suggests an author interested in recording observations from journeys through East Asia, especially Korea and China.

Beyond that confirmed attribution, reliable biographical details about the author are hard to find in the sources available here. No clear, well-sourced record of major life dates, background, or a fuller literary career could be confirmed during this search.

That makes the work itself the main point of interest: for listeners drawn to historical travel writing, it promises a period perspective on places that were far less familiar to many European readers at the time.
