Notes:

A very nicely done "fine printing" presentation of one of the stories from The Wallet of Kai Lung, 500 copies printed by the Riverside Press for the English and Ameican editions together. Mike B also reports a copy of this English edition bound in blue cloth.

Interestingly, a single lot of nine of the original twelve Ilbery Lynch drawings for these illustrations sold at auction in 2024.
