Exceedingly modern rare printed material with original gelatin silvers including a detailed historical, scientific, and visual account of the highway bridges in all of Japan, by Dr. Eiichi Murakami, the Director Public Works Research Institute Ministry of Construction of Japan. The book starts with a General title containing two tables: "Present condition of Highway Bridges in Japan 1965", and "Longest Span Bridge by Types in Japan".

This part deals with some selected examples from the oldest bridge on record, Ikuinotsu built in 326 AD to present, and this part has three original silver gelatins of Enkyo (Monkey) Bridge, Kintai (Shining Arch) Bridge, and Aimoto Bridge.

Uncommon French Sea Chart of the Pacific ocean, separtely publisheb by the Depot General de la Marine. This work is significantly revised and improved from the 1797 edition, to be noticed the improvements and additions to the coastline of Australia. The first edition showed very little of the Southern Coastline and did not specifically delineate Tasmania as an island. Also the coastline of Argentina is also greatly improved. Perfect status of conservation.
