Korea - Compliments Ye Old Curio Shop Guide and Antique Furniture Catalogue
Very scarce guidebook and furniture catalogue published by W.W. Taylor & Co. in Seoul. Stamped at top of front cover, 'Directly Opposite Main Gate Chosen Hotel', and with Taylor's red shop sticker affixed on lower part of front cover. The booklet is an interesting mix of guidebook and catalogue of antique Korean furniture available at Taylor's store. Two letters reproduced at the rear of the book are dated 1921 so this guidebook dates from that year or just after. Printed at Y.M.C.A. Press, Seoul, Korea.
