Shanghai, pp. text plus 46 fullpage b/w lithographic illustrations each with an accompanying page of descriptive text. 2 vols. 26x15 cm. Stitched. 1, An lithographic version of one of the most famous Chinese illustrated books, the Gengzhi Tu, first commissioned by the Kangxi emperor and produced in This lithographic version is taken from the later Qianlong edition of the work, believed to have been produced in the 1740s. This edition is in two volumes, the first describing Rice Growing, the second volume on Sericulture. There are 23 illustrations of rice growing in its various stages from the initial soaking of the seeds through to the harvesting and threshing. These are followed by 23 pictures of sericulture from the preparation of silkworm eggs through to cocoon sorting and silk spinning, the weaving of silk and making clothes. The illustrations show a Song influence and contain poems by the 12th-century magistrate Lou Shu who commissioned the original Song edition. Apart from the popularity of the work itself (it spawned several editions), it provided inspiration and a template for Chinese decorative arts in other media, including domestic and export porcelain, painting, lacquer screens and jade carving. The Gengzhi Tu presents itself as important on a number of levels: the most famous example of Qing illustrated printing, an important example of western (Jesuit) influence on Qing art, an insight into court and literati interest and taste at the end of the 17th and early 18th centuries, a popular and influential work whose appeal spread beyond the confines of woodblock printing. This is the second lithographic edition of the work (first edition 1879) produced by Shanghai s famous Dianshizhai lithographic press. Unobtrusive worming that intrudes onto, but does not detract from, the lithographic images. Otherwise clean. Some marks and wear to covers. Rare. 113 Jin Jian: QINDING WUYINGDIAN JUZHENBAN CHENGSHI.

Stitched, cloth case Jin Jian was made Superintendent of Wuyingdian (The Imperial Printing Press) in 1773 and supervised work for compiling the part of the Siku Quanshu project whereby reprints of rare works were made, some copied from the Yongle Dadian. Jin Jian proposed that these reprints be made using movable wooden type, which the Emperor approved. Thereafter, in the course of six months, a set of about 253,000 wooden type in two sizes was completed. Qianlong gave this method of movable type printing (usually known as Huozi Ban) the name Wuyingdian Juzhenban and wrote a poem to commemorate the initiation of the project. By 1777 over 30 works had been printed and Jin Jian published, also using movable type, an illustrated work (as here) on the project and the process of the printing. The work contains information and reproduction of documents relating to the enterprise and is illustrated with 16 appealing woodcut illustrations showing the process and stages in producing movable type and its preparation for use in printing. By the time of the completion of the project (around 1794), 134 works had been published and were brought together in a collectanea known as the Wuyingdian Juzhenban Congshu.

Cloth An interesting work on a publication about which we can find no information, other than that stated in this book. The Jiujing Xingshi Huabao, roughly translated as Illustrated News of the Striking World of the Old Capital, had a very short life span, being printed in only 60 or so issues in Beijing in 1908/9. The work appears to be a Beijing version of the successful Dianshizhai Huabao and associated publications that flourished in Shanghai from the 1880s onwards. Each illustrated edition (of which 42 are shown here) comprised just a few pages and told various tales, often strange and scandalous, of life in Beijing. The work lacks the finesse of the Shanghai versions but is similar in style. In Chinese. 117 KANG QIAN XIYIN PU. (Compendium of Seal Impressions of the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors). 康乾璽印譜.

Stitched, cloth cases A faithful and well-produced facsimile of the most famous example of late Qing period imperial lithographic book production. The Shujing Tushuo is an illustrated version of the Shujing (also known as the Shangshu ) or Classic of History, the earliest book in the Confucian canon, a collection of historical writings dating from the Western Zhou dynasty but also referring to earlier times. The text was considered a supreme authority on early Chinese history and knowledge of its contents was essential for the Civil Service examinations. The Shujing has been published in hundreds of editions over the centuries. Illustrated editions were often very high-class or, as in this case, imperial educational textbooks (in fact, the editor was involved in the Palace School for Princes and as a tutor of the emperor in his earlier career). This edition stands out in that it was produced by imperial decree of the Guangxu emperor and is copiously illustrated with a total of almost 600 illustrations, charts and maps. Although traditional in format, the illustrations highlight certain advances in qualities of reproduction that the technology of lithography brought to Chinese printing at the end of the Qing dynasty. The most delicate detail is clearly reproduced. The work stands as the prime example of lithographic publication produced in the Wuyingdian Imperial press located in the Forbidden City. According to the Bibliothèque Nationale catalogue, Impressions de Chine it may well have been the final publication of the Wuyingdian before the collapse of the Qing dynasty in The first-named editor Sun Jianai ( ) was an important scholar and official and a reforming Director of Educational Affairs during the Guangxu reign. He was also the first president of the institution which became Beijing University, and a Daxueshi of the Wuyingdian itself in Sun oversaw a team of some 20 people dedicated to the production of this work.

RBS 2: Chambers, William: DESIGNS OF CHINESE BUILDINGS, FURNITURE, DRESSES, MACHINES AND UTENSILS. New York, , 19 pp. text, 2 pp. b/w illustrations and drawings. 34x25 cm. Boards Sir William Chambers ( ) made three voyages to the East in the service of the Swedish East India Company, gaining a reputation in Sweden as an accomplished sinologist. In 1749, he returned from Canton on board the Hoppet, with material for the preparation of this volume. It was Chambers first book, and the first attempt, according to John Harris, to present Chinese architecture as a subject worthy of the kind of serious study formerly reserved for western antiquity. Chambers travels in China were restricted to the neighbourhood of Canton, where he believed the buildings to be representative of the national taste and practice. His book is now a quite invaluable record as so many of the buildings no longer exist, largely being ephemeral garden structures. The publication of the book was hugely influential and gave a tremendous impetus to the chinoiserie style. The French issue of the work was an expedient move as the Chinese taste was about to take hold on the Continent, with Le Rouge pirating the plates for his work Jardins Anglois-Chinois et Jardins de la Mode, Hard-to-find faithful facsimile of the rare 1757 English edition. 302 Chan Kam-po: CHINESE ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY.

Shanghai, , 244; ; , 54 pp. At least one and often more colour plates per item (see description for numbers of items). 3 vols. 29x22 cm. Cloth, in a cloth case An excellent, well-illustrated three-volume catalogue of some of the most interesting rarities in Chinese bibliography. All the items discussed are types of manuscript editions; each volume of the catalogue is devoted to a particular category. The first and third categories correspond to similar Western examples: manuscripts per se and hand-annotated editions of (chiefly) printed books both categories may be valuable not only for any intrinsic interest or rarity of the text, but also for the association of the author of the manuscript or the manuscript notations. The second category is less familiar in the West. Due to the nature of the Chinese script, and the relative expense of reprinting texts for which the woodcut blocks are lost, the practice of making manuscript copies of entire books was much more common and persistent than in the West. Whereas we associate the scriptoria of monasteries with the middle ages, in China individual scholars are, to this day, wont to copy out the entire text of rare books, often for their own use, from library or private collection copies. Again, over time, some of these chaoben become treasured for the fame of their once-humble copyists. The earliest manuscripts per se in this catalogue date from the Yuan period, but volume two has a Northern Wei period manuscript from Dunhuang, reminding us that China also has its special tradition of Buddhist scriptoria. The catalogue is based on the fine collections of the Shanghai Library (which, with the Beijing Library, is a sort of second National Library of China), augmented with a number held elsewhere. There are 109 items treated in the first volume, 153 in the second and 113 in the third. All are illustrated in new, high-quality colour photography. Thorough and often highly detailed notes on each item follow the illustrations, including brief biographies of the authors. In Chinese only. Highly recommended, especially to any person or institution with a serious interest in Chinese bibliography and rare editions. 316 Chen Zifen: CHEN ZIFEN BAIMIAO HUAHUI CE.

Shanghai, , 173 pp. Index. Folding b/w photographic frontispiece, 6 folding maps, numerous photographic illustrations, of which 2 in colour. B/w text drawings, some full page. 28x23 cm. Cloth The author was Master of the Shanghai Paper Hunt from 1925 to 1928, with nine wins to his name in the Roll of Honour. The Club had its origins in the disturbed years of the Taiping Rebellion. The first Master was John Markham, British Consul at Shanghai, and the Club rapidly attracted an international membership of keen sportsmen. After the Taiping rebels had been driven out of the neighbourhood of Shanghai in 1863, the officers stationed there turned to paperhunting for their entertainment. The sport was a substitute for fox-hunting, and popular amongst regiments in the Crimea and India. Davis explains this unusual sport: They rode out on Saturday afternoons, sending away one of their number as fox, who laid the paper, and after a certain start had been give him, the others rode after the fox, and chased him until they caught him... The foxes wore red cowls on their heads and shoulders so that they might be distinguished at a distance. Although the game appealed enormously to Markham s friends, some of whom had perfected their technique in India, the editor of the North China Herald was at a loss to understand Paper Hunting and wrote a leading article at the height of the 1866 season : Among the various proofs of madness which Chinese have daily opportunity of noting against the Anglo-Saxon race, few must appear to them more conclusive than Paper Hunting... For two men to gallop frantically over field and creek... for the mere purpose of scattering bits of paper which others take a delight in following up... is rank madness. The game was played on Mongolian ponies, noted for their undauntable pluck, staying power, and intelligence. The Mongolian pony is also well able to take care of itself, and it is said that the reason why the famous pony of a well-known heavyweight member of the Club has never fallen is that he dare not, for fear of being rolled upon by his rider. This is Davis only publication, written with great charm and a suitable sense of fun. A handsomely produced volume, printed on thick paper, it was no doubt issued for a very limited circulation amongst the Hunt members. The text is delightfully illustrated with amusing and pleasing pen-and-ink scenes from the chase by Edmund Toeg. A most enjoyable and quintessential expatriate Shanghai period piece. Now very rare. The covers show the original red colour. Bump to top right corner of front cover. Spine skilfully rebacked. Main body of the book very clean and tight. Skilful repair to the edge of one frontpaper. There are a number of pencil annotations which would appear to have been added by a member of the Hunt. In comparison with the couple of other copies we have handled over the years of this rare work, this is a very good copy. 344 Davis, John Francis: CHINESE MORAL MAXIMS, WITH A FREE AND VERBAL TRANSLATION AFFORDING EXAMPLES OF THE GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE OF THE LANGUAGE.

Venice, pp., 10 pp. publisher s adverts. 18x12 cm. Uncut in original wrappers A curious pamphlet of exceptional rarity, and unknown to the librarian of the Bibliotheca Marciana in Venice. This anonymous work purports to describe a masked ball in Nagasaki, financed by a Dutch merchant named van der Welber. The entertainment includes various tableaux of European culture, in which such figures as Plato, Aristotle, Cervantes, and Pierre Boyle are portrayed. The full version of the title includes the suggestion that the Japanese masque be revived for the next carnival in Italy for entertainment and public instruction. It seems more than likely that the entire mise-en-scene is imaginary, and that this pamphlet is no more than a piece of political satire. A number of clues, principally the carnival, suggest the use of Nagasaki as a sobriquet for Venice, thus enabling the author to comment with impunity on the manners and customs of la Serenissima. If this assumption is correct, then the pamphlet might appear to be written somewhat along the lines of Montesquieu s Lettres persanes. Indeed, the Italian text also makes use of the Troglodyte allegory. The choice of Japan would appear to be most uncommon in this genre of writing. Possibly the author sought to continue a trend of thinking begun in the 16th century by Italian missionaries, with their favourable reports on the prevailing conditions in Japan. One thing is certain: the name of van der Welber is not recorded in the annals of the Dutch East India Company. Since the Dutch were at that time the only Europeans permitted in Japan, a Dutch character was necessary to give the tableau what little veracity it has. An extraordinary item which would repay more careful study. We are grateful for the assistance of John Julius Norwich, and Giulia Ajmone Marsan.

Paper Published at the height of the Cultural Revolution, this is a great compilation of colour photographic illustrations showing a showpiece political event in Tian anmen Square with a huge march-past with thousands of red guards and military on October 1st The plates show the march, the political banners and slogans displayed and the enthusiastic and earnest participants. As ever, it is difficult to tell whether the missing colour plate was removed due to a change in the political wind or whether it was ever included in the first place. The lacking plate comes after a colour photograph of Mao (plate 1) and before a photograph of Lin Biao (plate 3)- the absence may be caused by simple misnumbering or the possible removal of a portrait of Liu Shaoqi.
