Translations from the shipping Chinese, Poetry, Illustrations, Arthur Waley

Absolutely stunning 1940's volume, “Translations from the Chinese” by Arthur Waley • Illustrated by C. Leroy Baldridge • Alfred A. Knopf

This book is in beautiful condition. Cover and cardboard slip show a fantastic, well-worn appearance, and the book itself appears to be rarely opened. The binding, having been face outward so many years, has faded. Chinese poetry, proverbs and musings. Illustrations, some colored, scattered throughout. Would make a beautiful decoration or coffee table book. Please see all photos closely for a clear idea of the book & cover's condition.
