25 LIST FROM OUR STOCK 265 Anville, Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d : NOUVEL ATLAS DE LA CHINE. A La Haye, Title page and 42 b/w engraved maps, including 1 large folding, 11 double-page, 30 single page. 54x37 cm. Recent full suede leather. 11, The title in full: Nouvel Atlas de la Chine, de la Tartarie chinoise, et du Thibet, contenant les cartes generales & particulieres de ces pays, ainsi que la Carte du Royaume de Coree; la plupart levees sur les lieux par ordre de l empereur Cang-hi avec toute l exactitude imaginable, soit par les PP. jesuites missionaires a la Chine. Comprises title page with list of contents printed in red and black, followed by 42 engraved maps (including 1 large folding, 11 double page, 30 single page) by G. Kondet, C. de Putter and others, each with a different rococo cartouche designed by Humblot. A landmark in the cartography of China. D Anville enjoyed the title of First Geographer to the King. His maps are based on Jesuit surveys begun in 1708 for the Kangxi Emperor, who prided himself on knowing every river and mountain in China. The Jesuit researches were published in the Huangyu Quan Lan Tu, as the first modern survey undertaken. The maps are charmingly decorated with cartouches in a style of light rococo chinoiserie. The last plate in the atlas is the first map to represent the discoveries made by Bering s expeditions to northern Siberia in 1725 to 1729, and 1734 to 1743, and is decorated with a delightful scene of a reindeer in a snowstorm. The atlas was the first European atlas of China to be published since Blaeu and is further important for the first depiction on a western map (albeit based on Chinese and Korean sources) of Korea as part of the Asian continent, rather than as an island, and the first serious treatment of Tibet, explored here in multiple maps. There is also an early depiction of Taiwan (on the map of Fo-kien) confined to showing just the eastern coast of the island. The maps were first published in Du Halde s Description...de la Chine and were re-engraved for this edition, a number embellished with additional details (including scales of distance) and the aforementioned cartouches. List of maps (DP= Double Page, S = Single Page): 1. General Map of China, Tartary and Tibet (DP); 2. General Map of China (DP Foldout); 3. Pe-Tche-Li (S); 4. Kiang-Nan (S); 5. Kiang-Si (S); 6. Fo-Kien (S); 7. Tche-Kiang (S); 8. Hou-Quang (DP); 9. Ho-Nan (S); 10. Chan-Tong (S); 11. Chan-Si (S); 12. Chen-Si (DP); 13. Se-Tchuen (DP); 14. Quang-Tong (DP); 15. Quang-Si (S); 16.

Map showing the voyage of Bering in Siberia (DP). The atlas lacks the preliminary 12 pages of text, comprising preliminaries and the main feature Relation de la Boucherie which was contained on pp However, we have seen other copies which similarly lack these pages and wonder whether it was a variant of the edition.

A Character Study in Mandarin Colloquial, Alphabetically Arranged.. 官話萃珍 美國富善著 京都匯文書院藏板 光緒二十四年. Peking, , 263, 2 folded leaves. 24x15 cm. Stitched A rare dictionary of Chinese in an interesting and unusual format. Goodrich explains that he undertook the compilation of this dictionary because of the lack of reference works that supplied examples of compounds (combinations of characters) and their usage in then contemporary colloquial Chinese. He asked his various teachers to produce sentences including these compounds and short phrases and then edited out those that were to high or literary in style. Another unusual aspect of the dictionary is its alphabetic arrangement according to romanization, making it easy for westerners to use. Finally, the book is produced in the rather splendid hybrid format that was used for some similarly translingual books produced in China at the turn of the century. It is printed using lithography, the binding is entirely Chinese, but it also has an English title page and Goodrich s brief introduction in English. Generally in very good condition with a couple of preliminary pages dog-eared, and waterstain to a number of pages intruding at times onto text, although not noticeably so. The outer cover is thin blue cloth and there was a red Chinese-style book label that has suffered loss of the first two characters. Rare. 377 Gordon-Cumming, C.

Tianjin, ce of folded leaves, Chinese-style, in two han consisting of yellow fabric wrappers between wood-stained aged boards. 60 b/w woodblock illustrations based on designs after Ding Yunpeng. 6 vols. 32x20 cm. Stitched Facsimile edition of a famous illustrated work, based on the late-qing imperially commissioned edition produced in the WUYINGDIAN, The original of this work was compiled and published during the late Ming period by Jiao Hong ( ) with illustrations based on designs by Ding Yunpeng. The first printed edition is dated to Wanli 22 (1594) and had blocks carved by Huang Lin, a member of the renowned Huang family of woodblock cutters, according to Zheng Zhenduo. The Guangxu emperor ordered this edition to be prepared, according to the edict printed as preface to the work, based on a manuscript copy in the imperial collections (Neifu jiu cun xieben), and other prefaces relate the story of the early editions and source for the illustrations which must mean that the xieben was either an original that carvers of the early editions worked from or a careful early manuscript copy. The edition was finished in The edict also mentions imperial patronage of the book, represented here in the form of printed appendixes with regulated poems (shi) written for the book s anecdotes and illustrations by the Qianlong emperor and corresponding eulogiac verses (can) by the Jiaqing emperor. The finely executed illustrations generally show the focal personage a figure of virtue in court or domestic settings, chiefly as a scholar surrounded by his books, paintings, bronzes, and other implements, including furniture and textiles. While the accompanying aged wooden boards and fabric (faux silk) wrappers are fanciful this is nonetheless a fine facsimile, giving a good representation of an important illustrated work and also the craftsmanship of the imperial, Wuyingdian workshops of the late Qing.

Mr. Peters collection was put together without reference to labor or expense, and with the aid of Chinese, and of American missionaries, who have resided a long time in the country. The collection was displayed in the Marlboro Chapel in Boston, before moving to New York in It was the only serious rival in scope and purpose to the more celebrated collection of Mr. Nathan Dunn of Philadelphia, at that time on display in London. The catalogue is supplied with lengthy notes on the manners and customs of the Chinese, drawn from the best sources of the day, such as Bridgman, Medhurst and Staunton. In addition to the catalogue, visitors to the museum had the benefit of three native guides, including Professor Kaw-hing who had left China in an effort to break his opium habit. Such was the success of his cure that, on a good day, he was even able to favour visitors with a Chinese song or two.

(A Selection of Works of Art to Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Peoples Liberation Army of China). 慶祝中國人民解放軍建軍五十周年美術作品選. Beijing, pp. text booklet plus 60 loose colour plates. English insert. 32x38 cm. Loose in cardboard folder A fine Communist propaganda compilation produced in the immediate aftermath of the Cultural Revolution period, the Death of Mao and the Fall of the Gang of Four. The 60 colour plates show various glorious battles and deeds in the 50 year history of the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) together with illustrations of selfless and model military behaviour. The plates also underline the primacy of the role of Mao Zedong in the PLA s history and success. It thus links the PLA inextricably with the legacy of Mao and seeks to underline the legitimacy of the PLA s primary role in Chinese politics. The role of the PLA in Chinese politics and the legacy of Mao were key political issues at the time that this compilation was produced. A further interesting aspect is how little Mao s successor, Hua Guofeng, features in the compilation just three plates depict him. The PLA senior generals never truly accepted Hua Guofeng and rapidly threw their lot in with their battle-hardened veteran comrade, Deng Xiaoping, following his rehabilitation just before Mao s death. The compilation thus demonstrates the sidelining and near irrelevance of Hua Guofeng. A fascinating tool for examining the use of art in the Chinese politics of the time. On the artistic level, a good survey of the officially-sanctioned art and artists of the time. Includes traditional Chinese paintings, oil paintings, woodblock prints, New Year prints and propaganda posters. The compilation is complete with the 60 plates. To assist with the identification of the plates (and to keep them in order!) we have numbered the list of contents from 1-60 and numbered each plate on the back. We also include an English translation of the titles of the plates, type of work and the artists. Main text in Chinese. It is rare to find complete sets of these propaganda collections as plates were often removed to be individually displayed or removed due to incorrect political content brought about by changing political winds and propaganda campaigns. Also, with China moving into a new political phase, many were thrown away or destroyed. 578 Quong, Rose trans: CHINESE GHOST & LOVE STORIES. New York, pp. B/w illustrations. 21x13 cm.
