Colour-prints of Hiroshige

Sydney : privately printed at the Beacon press, 1937. Folio, quarter-vellum over gilt-lettered silk (a few marks, a little discoloured along upper and lower edge from glue in the binding, as often found), patterned endpapers, Adrian Feint signed bookplate for W. R. Griffiths to front pastedown, 83 pp. illustrated with 64 original woodblocks after Hiroshige, each tipped-in by hand, occasional light scattered foxing and ghosting from the glue. Limited to 110 signed and numbered copies of which 100 were for sale (this is copy number 92).

This was Barnett’s largest and most ambitious book published up that point in his career, and is filled with large format prints after Hiroshige.
