"西洋鏡”：西方人眼中的清末民國 5種8冊
1925年 《中國戲劇》
這是美籍德裔戏剧學家祖克的名作。從早期戲劇、元雜劇、明代戲曲寫到昆曲皮黃。將京戲與莎劇比較，闡述衍變流程，并附有絹本手繪彩圖與珍貴劇照。祖克極愛梅蘭芳，為梅郎特書專章，加以倩影玉照。此書的裝幀也別具一格，以極少見的琥珀黃作封面，仿照舞臺帷幕軋黑色流蘇，書頂刷金，毛邊，限量發行720冊，本品為第92號。
1929年 《三國志演義》英譯2冊
三國的譯本有60餘種，英國漢學家泰勒這一版是最早的，堪稱眾譯本之始。泰勒原是福州船政學堂的講師，後來作為海關官員派駐京津、沈陽、長春等地。這套書由著名的西文出版機構別發印書館發行，遠銷京滬南洋，本品附原裝書匣，極罕見。
1936年 《京都叫賣圖》
本書作者康士丹是上世紀初美駐華使館武官。康氏駐京十餘年，直奉戰爭期間，曾作為美方觀察員隨軍。本書是他的碩士論文，以極具民初風韻的五彩錦面裝訂，附61禎石印彩图，16枚黑白照片，以四季為類，記錄了五十余種老北京胡同中的叫賣聲。北平貨郎如今早已不存，偶在洋人的筆記舊影中，還可一窺。
1940-1941年《一个老北京人的生命周期》 2套3冊
這是羅信耀的成名作。羅是埃德加·斯諾的助手，三十年代末斯諾邀請他在《北平時事日報》發表連載文章，向西方讀者介紹北平民俗。羅信耀以禮士胡同吳家一代人為例，描繪老北京人的生活起居、生老病死。此書一經出版，在北美漢學界和華界影響極深，至今不衰。
1972年 《墨蟬山莊藏中國扇面》
墨蟬山莊是瑞士藏家凡諾蒂博士的齋號。凡諾蒂的收藏在歐洲有盛名，他去世前，所藏器物經埃斯卡納齊之手釋出。書畫藏品共計200餘件，半數為扇面，這冊圖錄的是其中精品，以深藍函裝，王季遷撰文，24張扇面印在灑金箋上，燦麗如霞，墨色如新。
