Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Beautiful volume of wood engravings specifically from the Northern region of China, published by Gaoyuan Bookstore, 1947, 130 woodcuts by Gu Yuan, Li Chun Ku Yuan, Li Chun, Hu I-Chuan, Chiao Hsing-ho, Mao Ning, Shih Lo, Wang Liu-Chiu, Sou Yu, Chi Kwei-sheng, Ma Ta, Wu Cha, Hsia Feng, Chen Shu-liang, Chi Dan, Yan Han, Ghang Wang, etc (夏 風, 楊涵, 戚 單, 郭 鈞, 張 望, 古元, 力 羣, 王流秋, 馬 達) with several in bold bright color, though largely in black and white. 125pp. Index and introduction in English and Chinese, table of contents reproduced in both languages in laid-in foldout insert. Excellent condition overall, being sturdy, well bound and clean. Pages age toned pretty evenly throughout, although there are several pages on which the color prints have been made that have avoided this fate, perhaps being acid free type of paper. Even though toned, the black and white prints are bold, and the color ones on the acid free paper are quite brilliant and beautiful. Slight bit of waviness to the side margins of those pages, not found elsewhere. Covers mostly clean, with one very lightly bumped area to the front cover. A couple of white paint stains on the spine and a very small bit of loss to the paper of the spine at the crown. Spine text still legible. Back cover toned and with some very minor staining and a couple of tiny closed tears. Despite all of this, a lovely example, which is now covered in mylar.
