This item was kept by my family and appears to have been purchased at the "Claude Monet Exhibition" held at the Yamaguchi Prefectural Museum of Art in 2001. As it was only sold at the exhibition, I believe it is a valuable item. Due to its age, the cover and spine have scratches and yellowing, but the main body of the book seems to be in good condition. Please check the photos and consider purchasing. I am looking forward to purchases from those who understand that this is a used item that has been stored at home for many years and who do not mind minor imperfections.
