Leporello. Paper pastedown on cover.
1899 · Japan
Japan, 1899. Leporello. Paper pastedown on cover. . Very Good. An 1899 Japanese reprint of an 1861 work on hats. 37 by 25 cm when closed. 19 panels (pages), 14 of which are devoted to color illustrations of various headgear (some of the hats are black and gray, and so the sense of color is not pervasive). The hats range from extravagant to austere. A lovely work. Light soiling of the cover. One fold repaired.
