This special edition of A Japanese Collection (1898) by Michael Tomkinson (1841-1921) is one of the first 25 copies printed on Indian paper and is signed and dedicated by the author to his daughter Dora.
The two volumes highlight Tomkinson’s collection of ceramics, ivories, swords, textiles, lacquers, and numerous other Japanese works of art.
Mallams, which sold a similar set dedicated by Tomkinson to his son Raymond in 2019, expects it to make £1500-2000 on May 24 in Cheltenham.
