Original 1901 six volume set of The Far East And The New America by G.Waldo Browne and published by Dana Estes & Company of Boston. This is the first published and true first edition of the Far East Exploration sets. Other publishers printed this series in later years in varying numbers and up to 10 volume sets were sold clear up to the 1910s. The 1898 Spanish American War was fresh in everyones mind as well as our men still being over t plus the mystique of the Asian countries and the Hawaiian Islands of the Pacific made these volumes a fine set of books to own. This set was beautifully bound in original 3/4 red moroccan leather with gray buckram cloth boards and decorative gold titles on the spines. The red leather is a heavy grade that is in fantastic condition with strong hinges and very little fading. Some minor staining and toning and the gray boards are great with volume 4 receiving some mild water staining at the bottom of the boards as well as to some of the edges of the very inside pages. Also some minor waving to the bottoms of a some pages. The remaining 5 volumes are excellent and have no water problems and only a few minor smudges or bumping and a couple minor chips at two or three edges. Pages are very nice and t are many full page color plates as well as 100s of B&W illustrations. Color fold out maps are of each section
