Description: Japan: The Tokyo Shimbun, 1993. First Edition (?). Pictorial Cover. Hardcover. Published in Japan, 1993, by Tokyo Shimbun. Zubaran's 'Saint Rufina' is on the front and back cover. Cover has bumping and shelf wear to edges. Some minor scratching and scuffing to front and rear, with some top layer removed showing white, quite tiny spots. Some cover paper pulling away from spine on rear. Lettering in red on cover, and in white (Japanese) and gold color (English) . This is the catalogue of an exhibition highlighting European masterworks from the National Gallery of Ireland. The exhibitions ran from Aug. 1993 through May 1994 in Yokohama, Chiba, Yamaguchi, Kobe, and Tokyo, Japan. The end pages are marbled black and grey/green. The pages are all glossy, high quality paper. Pages are clean and tight; this appears as if unused. 53 color plates, each with a description in Japanese and English. The first 31 pages are in Japanese; then the plates; then a history of Irish National Gallery; etc, and then biographies of each artist included (in English) , a list of exhibitions and a bibliography. There also appears to have been exposure to water on some pages, but very faint marks and a few ripples on some pages. Wonderful addition to any library on European paintings. Unusual to find a catalogue printed in both Japanese and English. Oversized, 3.5#. ; Exhibition Catalogue Series; Color Photographs; 9 x 11 1/4; 191 pages. Very Good .
