"海外人物輯"

Nagata, Nankei [text by]; Ikkōsai [Utagawa, Yoshimori] [illustrations by].

[Japan: publisher unidentified, preface dated Kaei 7 (1854)].

 

An album of people and traditional clothing from 42 countries around the world, with brief descriptions of the customs and geography of each country. The set was published as a revised edition of Nishikawa Joken's 1720 Illustrated Explanations of the Peoples of Forty-Two Realms, but, unlike Nishikawa's edition, was colour-printed. The countries featured include the Netherlands, Java, Italy, France, Turkey, America, Germany, Hungary, Guinea, and so on. A beautifully colourful edition.

 

On double leaves, fukurotoji-style. Original wrappers, lightly soiled, with original daisen title slips. Sticker removal to upper pastedown of v.1, old bookseller stickers to lower pastedown of v.1 and slipcase. Occasional wormholes, partially repaired, and discolouration and marks to leaves. Housed in non-original custom slipcase. 2 v., complete. 25; 25 leaves. 25.1 x 17.5 cm.
