[Broadside] JAPANESE MEMORIES [Caption title:] "This double-spread is put forth by Mr. Arthur Fay of the Trade Pressroom of San Francisco to accompany the four-color reproduction of an oil painting by Maurice Logan."

[San Francisco]: John Henry Nash, c. 1924. Broadside. Very Good binding. Item #7532

Bifolium. 15.25" x 11.25" (15.25" x 22.5" opened). [4] pp. (French fold). Bold page-spread printed in black stylized font with borders and decorative title spanning the spread in black and bronze. Light soiling to the exterior. It was issued with a reproduction of a painting by Maurice Logan. Sadly, not present. O'Day offers a nostalgic and overly romanticized view of quaint times when "the Japanese woman in her native dress was a familiar figure." Though undated, contextually O'Day is referencing a time prior to the Immigration Act of 1924. O'Day writes: "By stern mandate of Federal law the Japanese are prohibited form coming to us, and those already domiciled here have put on many customs, and notably the apparel, of their adopted land." An uncommon piece of ephemera with only a half a dozen institutional holdings (OCLC: 16166928).
