A limited edition, a edition de luxe limited to three hundred copies, of which this is numbered one-hundred and ninety-four.

An exploration on the beauty and culture of Burma, a lovely travel work by Robert Talbot Kelly compiled during his travels across Burma, now known as Myanmar.
In this volume Kelly describes the characteristic features of the country, his descriptive text accompanied by striking plates.
Kelly's trip to Burma was significant as he had a large impact on the development of 20th Century Burmese paintings, with his influences being seen in the works of U Tun Hlla, Maung Maung Gyi, and Ba Ohn.
Illustrated with a colour frontispiece, one folding map, and seventy-four colour plates.
Collated, complete.
Bookplates of Graham Johnston and W. Clafton to the front paste down.
