Beschreibung

Thick 4to. (27 cm.) 416p. Elaborately [and profusely!] illustrated with full-page plates from original photographs. Decorated title page. Text printed in black on heavy blue paper. Tan cloth over boards elaborately decorated on the front cover and the spine with black, red, and gilt scenes illustrating the contents of the book. Minor wear to extremities with one corner just barely rubbed through, top and bottom of spine tender, spine slightly darkened, covers slightly soiled, gilt somewhat dulled, all photo illustrations in fine condition, else very good to near fine with no internal markings. No dust jacket. James Hyde Clark also wrote Cuba and the Fight for Freedom and The Presidential Battle of 1896. I could find nothing on this author, except one person described him as a Southerner, but without citing their source. In any case, this is a comprehensive and illustrated history of China, Japan and Korea. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 009133
