BAC: British Art Center copy inscribed on title page: To His Excellency Sir Harry Parks [i.e. Parkes] with the author's kind & respectful regards. Parkes served as the British envoy and minister to Japan from 1865 to 1883. Dresser travelled extensively in Japan in 1877; this visit would have a significant influence on Dresser's subsequent work. The present volume was presumably presented to Parkes during Dresser's visit and suggests a shared interest in Japanese design.
