Samurai In New York, The First Japanese Delegation, 1860; An Exhibition At The Museum Of The City Of New York, June 25-October 11, 2010, Co-presented With Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University -

Pamphlet. Unpaginated booklet, about 14p. of text and a double-spread map (global, not local), presswork on cardstock, white and scarlet alternately. A handsome little production with a few pressure marks on the cover and a couple faint touches of dustsoil, within we see that one leaf is slightly silver-fished. A good copy. The smallpoint text gives the general situation (160 diplomats, 75 swordbearing samurai) and an outline of the delegates' itinerary, and a pageful of Walt Whitman's bombastic account of the parade.
