Item description from seller

[Guide Book to Nikko Area from 1925 with Collotype Illustrations]. 5 x 7 1/2 in, horizontal format, paper wraps, string ties, 78 pp. This is a seventy eight page guide book which contains 38 black and white collotype plates with images of important sights and relics in the Nikko area. It is dated Taisho 14 (1925) on the colophon page at the rear. The collotype images are generally 3 1/2 x 5 in. An image is on one side and the facing page has a description of the view in English and Japanese. The colophon is in Japanese but states "Sold at the Kiosk Close by the Sorinto pillar, behind the Samhutsudo, Nikko." This book is out of the ordinary in that the illustrations are produced by more expensive and higher quality collotype process rather than the normal halftone. ~ Condition. The book is in very good condition. It has occasional pencil underlining. The back cover has creasing and waterstaining at the top corner.
