A FLIGHT OF BUTTERFLIES; New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art and Thames and Hudson, 1979

Facsimile of "One Thousand Kinds of Butterflies," 1904 with Woodblock illustrations by Kanzaka Sekka.  Modern Calligraphy by George Laws. Accordion Binding Made in Japan.  Cloth Boards with Heavy Stock Slipcase.
Book: Bright blue cloth boards with ivory 1.5" x 7" paste-on title labels; one-side with English titling; other side Japanese calligraphy. Note, the book is designed Japanese-style, to be read from what would be the back of a Western book.  Designed as an accordion book (see photo taken from top), printed on papers of varying hues of yellow, beige and green and silky textures. The butterflies are woodblock design in many colors and sizes, dancing across the pages. The only text is the two-page introduction in the photo. All paper and endpapers are clean, no markings, no damaged pages noted. The book itself is like new and the slipcase has taken all the wear. Constructed of heavy off-white stock, it shows light edgewear, corner bumps, and fraying at the tip and tail of the "spine," which also has a small puncture, and is tanned, as is all the slipcase paper. 
7.5" x 10"  (no paging)
