Tianjin, pp. Full page b/w calligraphy and reproductions of glyphs throughout. 42x28 cm. Cloth Uncannily, or perhaps, pointedly bearing the same name as the famous contemporary artist, Xu Bing s Tianshu or Book from the Sky, this may also be seen as a work of language-driven conceptual art but, because it is presented in the context of relatively traditional calligraphy and epigraphy, it will be unlikely to be widely appreciated in the western art world. Over a period of 34 years, Han Meilin collected rare glyphs from early Chinese inscriptions of all kinds from Oracle bones to bronzes and stone carvings particularly glyphs with figurative forms but regardless of whether these inscribed characters had been deciphered. He then assembled them in this extensive collation, occasionally intermingled with his own figurative additions. He has thus produced a mysterious Text from Heaven, one that is hard to place creative epigraphy?, scholarship? art? craft? Hiighly interesting and graphically engaging. Prefaces and introductions in English. Main text in Chinese. Very hard to find. This is the deluxe artist s book edition of a work that was published in The popular paperback edition went out-of-print immediately.

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.

Tianjin, Various pagings of folded leaves, Chinese-style, 50 juan in 16 ce. 511 fine lithographic illustrations with imagery, plus 23 maps printed in black & red, and 32 charts & tables. 16 vols. 33x22 cm. 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.
