About This Item

Philadelphia: George W. Jacobs, 1910. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. Complete with 12 tipped-in plates (8 in color and 4 monochrome). Publisher's light blue cloth boards, front cover and spine stamped in dark blue, spine faded, some wear at edges, corners, and joints; frontispiece (1st colored plate) is loose, some browning at edges of text block, some chipping of lower edge. First American edition. Charming autobiographical work by the Japanese artist Yoshio Markino. The plates are reproductions of delicate paintings and sketches by the author/artist depicting scenes and people in London. Markino (1869-1956) was born in Japan, but spent much of his life in London, where he observed both himself and the English with amused delight.
