L'Abbé G. Bruley des Varannes、Alfred Mame et Fils、･･･

An elegant 19th-century travel account offering a French missionary’s view of Meiji-era Japan. Le Japon d’Aujourd’hui by Abbé G. Bruley des Varannes was published in 1893 by Alfred Mame et Fils in Tours, reflecting the period’s fascination with Japonisme. Richly illustrated, it depicts landscapes, customs, and daily life, with scenes of Mt. Fuji, tea harvesting, and a Shinto priest frontispiece. Bound in striking red percaline with black and gilt stamping and all edges gilt, the book remains attractive despite edge wear. The interior shows heavy foxing but is complete. Includes an old paper bookmark. A handsome and evocative volume for collectors of Japonica or decorative bindings.
