The back cover has a mend at the top center fold ca. 3.5 cm. downard a few old pencil numbers paper toned a bit of old darkening as usual. Delicate now in a protector. . This is an excellent piece of illustrated ephemera showing the kind of imported fabrics brought to Hong Kong from abroad during the 1920's. During that era 'imported' from western countries meant a higher quality than something from China. European products at that time had more appeal to foreigners living or visiting Hong Kong. Commonly foreigners had clothes 'made-to-order' in the colony. . Color scans of this and most items are posted to our website. . hardcover
