Written by a member of Lord Macartney s embassy to Peking in 1798, this volume is an account of that mission with additional comments on the nature of Chinese culture, state and society. John Barrow accompanied Lord Macartney on this the first British embassy to China, later becoming his Private Secretary. Barrow s account of the expedition is considered a most valuable contribution to the literature of Western embassies to China. Of special interest are the descriptions of the Imperial Palace in Peking, and the palace in Jehol, and also the observations on the life and character of the Qianlong Emperor. The frontispiece by Thomas Hickey is a portrait of Van-ta-gin, the Emperor s officer, who escorted Lord Macartney to the capital. He became a most congenial travelling companion, and learnt to shake hands and to eat with a knife and fork. His portrait is also included in William Alexander s The Costume of China. The fine aquatints are largely the work of Alexander, who accompanied Hickey as official draughtsman to Lord Macartney s embassy. Rebound in later cloth.

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. 223 Chan, Charis: IMPERIAL CHINA.

Jiangsu, [1], 1, 1, 3, 1-51; ; 3, 1-64; folded leaves, Chinese-style. Woodcut illustrations throughout. 4 vols. 26x17 cm. Stitched, blue cloth case. 2, Scarce copy of the first edition of a work compiled by Ding Richang ( ) who was an important military and civil official during the interesting times of the mid-nineteenth century, as China attempted to cope with Western incursions, political reform, and the Taiping uprisings. One of Ding s perhaps less directly efficacious if inspirational responses was to make this collection of illustrated biographies of Chinese military heroes. The book has been rebound in traditional style with lining and sensitive repairs in a few places. It is a good impression on fine paper that has darkened very slightly and has very slight foxing to some preliminary pages. The leaves of the final physical volume have suffered more than the others and there is loss to part of the text on the final leaf. They are well-supported by the rebinding. The illustrations are well-designed and executed. Overall the work is good condition for this type of material and is a fine exemplar of late Qing book illustration.

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.

Plate no 2 missing? 19 vols. 26x37 cm. 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. A very rare photographic record of past revolutionary glories. Explanatory texts at bottom of each plate in Chinese. 595 Qiu Bin and Yao Yongkang ed: JINGDEZHEN QINGHUA CIPIAN TU AN JI.

Jinling, Various pagings of folded leaves, Chinese-style. 8 juan in 4 ce. Numerous b/w and multiblock colour woodcut illustrations, throughout. 4 vols. 26x17 cm. Stitched, cloth case. 1, There were numerous editions of this famous manual of painting, the original editions of which are renowned for their multiblock colour woodcut printing. There were a total of three ji or collections thematically distinct (plus a later, distinct fourth from a separate source) which form the complete Manual. The second collection with four parts devoted to orchids, bamboo, flowering prunus (plum), and chrysanthemums was especially popular and the same family continued to reprint it from the original blocks for more than a century. This copy is from the edition produced in A column of characters at the end of the yanlie preliminary section of the first volume gives this date, and it is also given in a similar column of characters at the end of volumes two and four (bamboo & chrysanthemums). The blocks are very similar to those for the original edition of 1701 (cf. the illustrations in Visible Traces item 18) but do exhibit differences. The text corresponds more or less exactly and may even be printed from the same blocks, for parts of the text at least. The colophon already mentioned does state that the editor is chongjuan (re-cut) but this does not necessarily mean re-cut in the case of all blocks. The collection is, as stated, organised into four manuals ( pu ), each with two sections (giving 8 juan ). The first part of each manual is devoted chiefly to technique, with text and illustrations, whilst the second parts reproduce more or less complete compositions. This is a good copy of this scarce work. It has been honestly conserved according to traditional Chinese principles. Each manual is in separate stitched covers of goldflecked dark blue paper. The original paper has been supported by lining in the jade set in gold manner. Each manual retains its inner cover page ( nei fengmian ) and there are also (probably bookseller s) four outer covers with book labels (misnumbered in two cases by a manuscript hand) that have been retained in the conservation process. The new cloth case also retains an earlier manuscript label for the entire collection. There is slight loss to the margins of some preliminary pages, very occasionally straying into the rules of the printed area but with no loss of text or illustration. Most pages are clean and with very little spotting, with the exception of volume three (prunus), where the paper of has partially darkened and also some damp staining affecting a few of the compositions in the second part. The printed impression is generally clear and well registered and the blocks are finely carved (close to the quality of the earlier editions and better than other derivative editions we have seen), with good, subtle colouring. Generally speaking, this is a good copy in good condition. Cf., inter alia, Visible Traces item 18. Ding Fubao Sibu Zonglu Yishu Bian, xia, no Wang Jiapeng: ZANGCHUAN FOJIAO JINTONG FOXIANG TUDIAN.
