More Letters of A Japanese Schoolboy. By Wallace Irwin, with Illustrations by Ralph Barton, G. P. Putnam's Sons, The Knickerbocker Press, 1923.

 

While this is an intentionally humorous book, it is a stereotypical and offensive portrayal of a young Japanese boy studying in the United States illustrated in caricatures, evidence of pre-WWII racism towards the Japanese.

 

Brown wood-colored cover with front art illustration and black title. Some bindery page cracks with clean pages and some wear rub marks at the spine cover. First Edition. Illustrated.
