About This Item
1920s. Hardcover. Very Good+. Grey cloth over flexible boards; oblong (14x10.75 inches); contains more than 210 views by an accomplished amateur photographer, many of them hand-colored; silver prints (ranging in size from 3.5x3.5 to 3x5.25 inches), mounted 5 or 6 to the recto and verso of every page. Comprised of approximately 140 snapshots of India (native people, architectural details, religious statuary, street scenes, funerary pyres, studio portraits); 11 prints of Japan (landscapes and landmarks); 18 of Egypt (pre-historic sites and monuments); 35 of China (waterfront and street views). The images of Egypt and China are not hand-colored. Cloth a bit worn, with chipping along edges of boards; a few images silvered, but overall nicely preserved. A vibrant album.
