De Japanneezen: Vertelling voor de Jeugd

Leiden, A.H. Adriani, 1892?. Hardcover. 186 pp. Black & White images. Conditie: Good, No date but presumed first (1892?). Very beautiful cover. Contents with lots of illustrations. A bit of wear to the cover and a little foxing to the contents. A the end of the nineteenth century there was a lot of interest in anything Japanese. Artists were influenced by Japanese art, especially woodblockprinting. The influence can be seen in artists of the Belle Epoque. This book tries to educate young children and learn them about Japan by telling a story about a boy who ventures amongst the Japanese. Gebonden met hard kaft. Zeer fraaie bandtekening van een Japanse dame in traditionele kleding voor een waaier. Verder bloemen, een vlinder en vogels en een draak gevat in een ornamentele rand. Wat slijtage band, klein beetje foxing. Met veel illustraties. Zeldzaam boek. .
