“Verzameling overzeese personen (deel 2)” is a book cover created by Kaan Nagata in 1854. The book's cover is made of a light brown paper, and the title is written in black ink. This cover has Japanese text, and it appears to be a part of a series of books titled “Verzameling overzeese personen” (Collection of Overseas People). This artwork provides a glimpse into the cultural practices of bookmaking in the 19th century.
