Wien, K.K. Österreichischen Handels-Museum, 1895. Folio (45.0 x 33.0 cm). Lithographed pictorial title, and 12 full-colour mounted lithographed plates. Portfolio with pictorial boards.

Rare and fine examples of Japanese bird illustration, apparently collected as inspirational specimens for artists and art students. The lithographed pictorial title by the K.K. Hof- und Staatsdruckerei. Provenance: the front board verso has a small stamp of the Tiroler Glasmalerei. Leaves a bit age-toned, the tipped-in bird prints much better; otherwise a very good, clean copy. We found only one auction record since publication, interestingly, with the same provenance. Not in any major bibliography.
