Beschreibung
Tinted lithograph with original hand colour 15 x 22.3 cm, 22.5 x 28.8 cm (sheet), some offsetting to the lower edge of the image, lower margin a trifle ragged, and a few marginal spots, but the image in very good condition. A finely detailed view of the interior of a Buddhist Temple in Simoda (Shimoda) showing monks at prayer, after a painting on the spot ("from nature") by William Heine and prepared for Commodore Perry's "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan.". Perry visited Shimoda in April 1854, staying for three weeks and as his account bears witness was much impressed by the traditional way of life. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 176649

Postage is extra at cost. We are pleased to accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal.
The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
