About This Item
London: John Murray, 1881. Full Leather. Good. Stated fourth edition. In full light brown leather, presumably a rebind. Xxiii, 398 pp. Fold out map of Japan in the rear. A few black and white illustrations throughout. Volume one only of this work, providing a travel account of Japan, rather than a history of the country. This includes visits to indigenous villages in the interior, as well as shrines, etc. Isabella Bird was a well known English traveler, turning her letters home into various books. One of her most popular was of her travels in Colorado. Nice gilt work to the leather spine. GOOD+ condition. Leather covers with extensive staining along the front hinge and upper rear cover, with the leather appearing glued to a leather binding. Remains of paper to the lower front cover. Leather rather scuffed along the hinges. Interior clean and solid.
