Thomas W. Knox、Harper & Brothers、1881、23.5cm x 18c･･･

Early printing (1881 title page) of The Boy Travellers in the Far East: Part First by Thomas W. Knox, published by Harper & Brothers. This classic Victorian travelogue reflects Western fascination with Meiji-era Japan and late-Qing China, and is an important example of 19th-century Japonisme.

Bound in the original red cloth with striking black and gilt Japanese motifs—fans, cranes, and blossoms. Profusely illustrated with wood engravings, including a frontispiece and maps.

Condition is Good Minus: shelf wear, fraying at the spine ends, bumped corners, and age-toned pages with scattered foxing. A period gift inscription reads, “Merry Christmas from Flora. 1880.”

Gaston Pageot、Bibliothèque des Auteurs Modernes、19･･･

Scarce early 20th-century French travelogue, A Travers Les Pays Jaunes: Suivi d’un itinéraire de Croisière autour du Monde, published in Paris in 1908 by the Bibliothèque des Auteurs Modernes. Issued shortly after the Russo-Japanese War, it reflects Western fascination with the Far East and documents travel through Meiji-era Japan, China, and neighboring regions. Illustrated with period black-and-white photographic plates, including views of Nikko’s temples (“Temple de Jyeasu”).

Original red cloth binding with an elegant silver-stamped Art Nouveau border. Condition is Fair/Acceptable: heavy scribbles or scratches across the front cover title, frayed spine ends, worn corners, and interiors with pronounced browning and foxing. Structurally intact but well aged.
