About This Item
Tokyo: Kelly and Walsh, 1893. Hardcover. Very Good. 2 vols. Complete. First volume: index, xi, 161p. text plus 37 plates printed on one side. Second volume: all leaves printed on one side; Preface and Contents leaves at beginning followed by 40 numbered leaves containing colotype photographic images executed by K. Ogawa; each photographic plate (or pair of plates) preceded by an identically numbered text leaf with information on the following plate or plates. 36 cm. Private library stamp ("Library of Eleanor C. Weller") embossed on first title-page and also written with a medium-width black marker on both front free endpapers. Rebacked in a somewhat different shade of green. Original floral endpapers preserved when this set was rebacked with hinge and adjacent areas reinforced with a strip of green binder's tape (that color of that tape matching the new backstrip). Outer corners rubbed with loss of cloth. Modest edge-wear on some leaves. Chipping in bottom margin on last two plates in first volume; last index leaf in that volume rather ragged along inner margin and detached from the rest of the text while still firmly attached to the rear endpaper. Plates tissue-guarded in the second volume but not in the first. Half-title and preceding leaves detached from title-leaf in second volume but still firmly bound in.
