Title: Javanische Schattenspiele. Orig. edn.
Description: Leipzig, 1923. Square 8°, dec. paper covered limp boards. with a string through spine (Japanese style-binding), rectangular red col. illsd. title-label on upper cover, (6)pp. of introd. text, 24 plates, 1 col., depicting wayang kulit puppets out-of-text. Copy of Prof. Dr. O. Karow, his signature & red 'tjap' on title. In general the plates of this publ. are without any captions. This copy is however extensively annotated on the plates in Ms. by Prof. Karow, & according to the extensive annotations, also by Prof. Karow on title, these annotations have been taken from the copy of Prof. Dr. G. Jacob (who publ. a wellknown book on shadow-theatre), now present in the Oriental Seminar, Univ. of Bonn, Germany. Needless to state that this makes our copy of great interest.
