Descrizione

8vo., First Edition, with over 70 plates and 4 folding maps (2 large and coloured); handsomely bound in red full morocco, back with five raised bands ruled in gilt, second and fourth compartments lettered in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt with a floral spray, original pictorial wrappers preserved, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. With a contemporary picture postcard and embroidered Christmas card (1945) loosely inserted. One of the best - and scarcest - pre-WWII guides to Hong Kong. Profusely illustrated and with very numerous trade advertisements throughout, it includes detailed coloured maps of Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, and plans of the Central District of Victoria and the Canton-Kowloon railway. A splendid copy of a work rarely found complete. EXTREMELY SCARCE.
