First edition. 11" x 8 1/4". Illustrated paper over thick card, a. E. G. First edition. Pp. [3], [title, blank], 4-31, [statement of printer], followed by 72 unnumbered pages with 20 original black and white photographs measuring between 3 3/4" x 2 ½" and 8" x 5 1/2" with accompanying description of each on opposite page. Good: ex-library with the usual markings; corners bumped, generally scattered foxing save for endpapers where it is more pronounced; dampstaining pp. 23-31 not affecting text; tape repair on gutters of four plates; pages wavy. George A. Audsley was a man of many talents, skilled in architecture, illustration, and writing. He is most notable for designing the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia. This copy was inscribed to Sir M. Digby Wyatt, British architect, art historian, and Surveyor of the East India company. He was part of the famous Wyatt family of architects whose work spanned 18th and 19th century England. The images on the plates were from the collection of James L. Bowes, Esq. Audsley presented this essay to the Architectural Association in London, expounding upon his observations on Japanese art while humbly downplaying his knowledge in the field. He claims he is not an expert, but he is cognizant of the distinct characteristics of Japanese art, including an eye toward the natural world of flowers and trees, mountains and clouds, waves and waterfalls, and a wide variety of animals. He notes the skillful sense of color, and even the penchant for the humorous and the grotesque. Further observations are explained more fully in sections titled Enamels, Lacquer Work, Porcelain, Metal Work, Textile Work, and Carved Works. One in the trade as of May 2019, and two copies of the later 1874 edition. This item is offered by Langdon Manor Books, LLC, antiquarian booksellers.

Store description
You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.…
