= Preface: "These books are not only designed to please children but to show manners and customs of the ancient and modern people of Nippon. The fine illustrations afford an important aid in this respect. It is through the eye that the understanding itself is most quickly reached." Emily Bishop Boulton, born in England on June 2, 1855, travelled out to Japan with Bishop Poole, the first English Bishop in the country, and Mrs. Poole, arriving in Osaka in December, 1883. She at once joined Miss Oxlad in the Eisei (Eternal Life) school, nucleus of the Bishop Poole Girls' School, in which also she worked for some years after its opening in 1890.

= A unique collection of unused Persil soap boxes with the original colour scheme designs, used for a campaign to promote (the upcoming) "Tintin" toy figure gifts with each box of Persil. In 1973 Persil started a Tintin campaign to promote the new formula by Persil: two different flip books with Tintin characters were added to boxes and two sets of 4 toy figures each. The front is in two different variants (one announcing the gifts, the other presenting the gifts). The back side of the boxes could also be collected as a portrait gallery, with the following characters: Tintin (Kuifje), captain Haddock (not present on the boxes), professor Tournesol (Zonnebloem), Dupond brother (Janssen), Bianca Castafiore, Snowy (Bobby), Rastapopoulos, Nestor the butler, dr. Müller, Abdallah. The original drawings (of which the photographs were taken) are by the Hergé studio or Hergé himself. The colour schemes are probably by the box designers of Persil/ Henkel. Provenance: the Henkel company. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XLVI.
= Very rare promotional item, to be hung in grocery stores and supermarkets to promote the Tintin campaign of Persil in 1973.
