    Description

    From a recent estate sale is this old souvenir picture book of Apia the capital of Samoa. The book has no date for publication but I would guess it to be before WW1 when the Germans governed the area. The book measures about 7" by 5 1/4" and has 22 pages with images - the only text in the book is the image identifications. The images fold out to one long piece as shown. There are 2 places where the paper has been repaired on the back with tape as shown in photos. The smaller one was a ragged tear and you can see that tear from the front - see photos 11 and 12.The other repair was right on the fold line so it is not really noticeable from the front side. There is light wear on the cover and some toning on the paper. I tried to show as many of the images as I could.
