Japanese Exhibition Catalogue on crepe paper by Louis Williams
Produced for an exhibition in Tokyo of photographs taken by Westerners. This particular, large format crepe paper book was possibly a sample as it contains only a colophon with woodblock printed images without any text. The 'known' version has more pages and lists some of the photos exhibited along with their number but this edition we have appears to be complete as issued. The artwork is by Ito Kyoun.
Tokyo. Yamamoto Tomizo. 1896.
16pp. 22.5 x 17.8cm.
In good condition. Covers with some wear and old stains. Internally very good with only a little creasing and a few minor marks.
