New York : Viking Press, 1965. First Edition. Hardback. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 157 pages; Description: 157 p. : ill. ; 31 cm. Subjects: Asia --Pictorial works. Summary: Dorothy Hales Gary's remarkable photographs of India, Thailand, and Japan, of temples, towers, courtyards, and gardens, of buildings and artifacts dating from the twelfth century and earlier, and made of stone, wood, and a variety of precious metals are a superb study in contrasts. Her collaborator, Robert Payne, author of many books on the Far East, has contributed an illuminating commentary on the photographs, seen in the context of the art and thought of the three countries.
