There is some wear at the edges of the covers and a few small chips to the paper at the edges of the spine. The pages are clean and tightly bound. Pages are uncut. This volume is profusely illustrated with 131 plates and illustrations. This large paperbound volume is in very nice condition. These are generally found tattered or broken up, so this one is nicely preserved and definitely well above average on the condition scale....The accompanying portfolio volume houses the unbound color plates. There are 25 of the original 28 plates present in this portfolio. Plates present are "A through W", "AA" and "BB". The three missing plates are "X", "Y", and "Z". The plate description insert sheet is also missing. There are also an additional 16 or so plates in this portfolio which are duplicates of the plates in the larger text volume. For some reason the former owner had these extra plates from another copy of the book. Kapa is traditional bark-cloth of the Oceania area of the Pacific. It is made from the fibers of selected trees, the product of a very labor-intensive process, and used for clothing and bedding. With the introduction of Western cloth, the production of kapa was doomed, and even in 1911, the art of kapa-making was ‘fast passing into oblivion all through the regions where it once flourished, and at present exact knowledge of some of the processes, simple as they usually were, is already lost’. This is a rare and important set of Hawaiiana. Printed in limited numbers. A beautiful visual documentation of this aspect of Hawaiian culture and history. $750.00
