Middlesbrough, Rowe & Co. Ltd, 1922. Very Good original illustrated wrappers, cord tied. Edges chipped, edges of title-page lightly soiled, internally good. A nice tourist album produced for the luxury department store Rowe & Co., containing 111 photographs, each numbered and indexed. The majority of photographs have been accredited to Felice Beato, considered one of the first war photographers and well known for his work in Burma where he had his own studio, Rowe & Co. whose building can be seen in the second photograph, and was one of the British colonial emporia or department stores in Rangoon.
