Description
'Japan And Her People', Anna Hartshorne Vols. 1 &2 Leatherbound Edition,c.1902 John C. Winston Company International Press This is an absolutely beautiful set of books with amazing cover illustrations and written by a woman who lived in Japan from 1886 to 1940. This is more than a travel guide, it's a history of Japan in the 19th century as well as an analysis of the west's impact on the culture. Originally published by Coates, that company was purchased by Winston who took over publication of Anna's work by 1905. This very rare leather version belongs among the first published by John Winston Company. Every edition I've found appears to have the silk and paper protective dustjackets, sometimes including a slipcover. This set lacks that. These books contain 50 photogravure illustrations, 25 per volume. From Google Books: "First published in 1902, this volume emerged contemporaneously with the Anglo-Japanese Treaty and explored the nation of Britain’s newest allies from an American perspective. Anna Hartshorne took her readers from experiencing Japan as unreal to utterly normal. She provided a thorough traveler's guide including the voyage and first impressions, major locations and Japan’s peoples, culture and history. This is presented in two volumes along with 50 illustrations." invshelf

Beyond my expectation. Wonderfully packaged, secure, protected, safe. Informed before, during and after of product delivery. The condition of the photo and signatures was authentic and excellent condition. The seller went out of its' way to almost overdo the packaging/. It was so well done I felt like it was Fort Knox. I attended the Oakland Oaks PCL games in Emeryville, California as a young kid. Me and my brother and father attended games, listened on little "static radio of away games.

I bought both of the vintage Hallmark card albums from this seller. As stated in the first feedback, the album and cards are in amazing condition. The complete collection was included. The price was reasonable , and they are something I had been watching for for some time. This seller provided a great value, perfect packaging and shipping service. They are as described, and I thank this seller for. Highly recommended!!!
