Brown boards, slightly warped. Chinese character "Fu" on front cover, meaning "good fortune". This is an accordion-style binding with a total of ten hand-colkored plates, solk edging. They are on the sinistro with descriptions in Chinese and English on the dextro. They depict the following: New Year Greetings on Yuan Tan, The Lantern Show on Shang Yuan, Cleaning Tombs on Ching Min, Dragon-Boat Racing on Tuan Yang, Meditation on Kinsmen on Chung Yuan, Enjoying the Moonlight at Mid Autumn, Ascending a Height on Double Nine, Thanaksgiving For Good Harvests, Offering To God of Kitchen Range For Blessing, and Thanks to Heaven on New Year's Eve. There is a small area of old worming at bottom of plates. The worming is about 1" in final plate, then becomes much smaller to a small pin-hole in others. A very nice example of the Chinese accordion book, finely- illustrated in hand-colored plates. Please see photos. Size: 7 1/4" x 5".
