Selection of Lilies for Export by Ikeda Jirokichi
[Japan] Wonderful, early work containing 43 pages of colour lithographs of Japanese lilies for the export market. Interestingly, this particular book was not published by The Yokohama Nursery Company, but edited and published by Ikeda Jirokichi of Ikeda Shoten.
Tokyo. Ikeda Shoten. 1895.
22 leaves. 26 x 19.5cm.
In very good condition. Covers with minor age wear (note the dark areas on the covers are not stains but part of the design). Internally very good. Due to the small metallic silver or gold squares of paper used inside the front and rear covers, there has been some transfer to the facing page. b34121309
