Stitched, original cloth case with wear. Missing one toggle. 1, The Feiyingge Pictorial was established in 1890 by Wu Youru, who left the Dianshizhai Pictorial to establish this competitor illustrated magazine. Just before his death in 1893, Wu handed publication over to a fellow lithography artist, Zhou Quan (Zhou Muqiao) who continued the magazine (under similar, if not identical, names) for a few years. The magazine started out emulating the Dianshizhai Pictorial format by illustrating and describing a mix of news stories, strange events and traditional Chinese artistic imagery. It later eradicated the journalistic content and focused on more traditional imagery. This work was first published in 1922 and comprises one of the later editions of the collectanea showing the output of Feiyingge. It provides a retrospective of Feiyingge s output, presented in the format of a huapu or painting manual/guide, designed to offer subject matter to copy, or inspiration for, fresh work. Complete in eight fascicles with content as follows: Figure Painting (3 fascicles); Standard Illustrations of Various Subjects; Flowers; Birds; Landscapes; Figure Painting and Fan Paintings of Flowers and Plants.

(The Correct Principles of Food and Drink). 飲膳正要 忽思慧著. Sibu Cong Kan Xubian Zi Bu. Shanghai, ; 52; 59, 1 folded leaves. Numerous full page b/w lithographic illustrations. 3 vols. 20x13 cm. Stitched. 2, A classic of Chinese medicine and cuisine. Hu Sihui was a dietician in the late Yuan dynasty imperial court. He was the first to discover and diagnose disease illness caused by dietary deficiency and to discuss food poisoning. The Yin Shan Zhengyao (published in 1330) states that much illness is caused by improper eating and that many such illness can be cured and, indeed, prevented by a proper diet. It gives much guidance on how to observe a proper diet, discusses food hygiene and storage, special diets and gives a good number of recipes, together with descriptions of ingredients. Hu was Mongolian and the recipes show Chinese, Mongolian and Central Asian influence. Apparently, amongst much else, it contains a recipe for wolf soup! The work rapidly became very influential and its importance has persisted for centuries. This is a reduced-format reprint of a Ming edition held in the Seikado Bunko in Japan. Delightfully illustrated with many delicate black-and-white lithographic illustrations. All text in Chinese. Very rare, very pleasing and in fine condition. The first time we have handled this work. 46 Hong Sheng: CHANGSHENG DIAN. (The Palace of Eternal Youth). 長生殿 洪昇著. Chuanqi Xiaoshuo.

(Pictures of Tilling and Weaving). 御制耕織圖 焦秉貞繪 點石齋石印. Shanghai, pp. text plus 46 doublepage b/w lithographic illustrations each with an accompanying page of descriptive text in English and French. 26x15 cm. Stitched. Decorative silk covers. Recent cloth case. 6, The first lithographic version of one of the most famous Chinese illustrated books, the Gengzhi Tu (Pictures of Tilling and Weaving) first commissioned by the Kangxi emperor and produced in This edition is in two volumes, the first describing Rice Growing, the second 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 in a second volume 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 a copy of the first lithographic edition of this work produced in a reduced format in 1879 by Shanghai s famous Dianshizhai lithographic press. Reproduces, in fine double page black-and-white lithographic illustrations, the 46 illustrations from the Kangxi 1696 edition of this work. The 1696 preface of the work is also reproduced. The poems are translated into French and English with a preface in French to the beginning of each volume. Seems to be one of a series of works produced in that year reproducing famous woodblock illustrated Chinese works with explanations in English (and sometimes, as here, in French) for the enjoyment and education of the China expatriate community. Original beautiful silk covers with decorative designs and retaining good colour the tilling volume with green covers, the weaving volume with blue. In excellent condition. The occasional light spot of foxing. Stitching to the tilling volume loose. Contained in a later cloth case for protection. Extremely rare. The first time we have handled this work in its complete two-volume form.

The work is in three parts, each beginning with a portrait of the author at different ages 39, 50 and 53 years respectively. Each part contains 80 episodes, and each episode is accompanied by a foldout illustration. It is these superb illustrations that distinguish the work, making it one of the finest illustrated books of its age, much sought after by cognoscenti and with a wealth of visual material on life and work in late imperial China. Linqing served as a prefect in various provinces of China and was well-travelled the episodes with accompanying illustrations range from visits to famous mountains and gardens to cities, river conservancy work, conversations about chrysanthemums and dinners in fragrant groves. This is a copy of the first lithographic edition of the work produced by the famous lithographic printers, Dianshizhai, in Shanghai. It was produced in a reduced format to the original and with the finely-detailed lithographic illustrations this then recently-introduced technology brought to Chinese printing. The publisher s colophon at the start of the first fascicle states that this is the second printing of this edition done in Some waterstaining that is predominantly confined to the introductions and preliminary sections of the first fascicle and which does not intrude on to the printed area.

9 LIST SHANGHAI LITHOGRAPHY An exquisitely-produced work by the well-known Dianshizhai studio in Shanghai with very fine detail that demonstrates the leap in quality that lithography brought to Chinese printing in the latter part of the 19th century. The work is complete in six fascicles. It depicts lithographic reproductions of paintings accompanied by poems from the Tang dynasty onwards. Contents as follows: Fascicle 1: Landscape; Fascicle 2: Figure Paintings; Fascicle 3: Birds and Flowers; Fascicle 4: Plants and Insects; Fascicle 5: Flowers; Fascicle 6: Fan Paintings. It appears that the work was originally produced by Dianshizhai in parts as there are varying dates on different fascicles ranging from 1888 onwards. The publisher s colophon on a frontpaper of fascicle one is dated 1904 and states wu ci (5th printing), testament to the original popularity of the work. Produced in a slightly-reduced format to the original edition. Text in Chinese. Slight wear, tear and loss to a couple of the covers of the fascicles. Stitching loose to a couple of fascicles. The occasional mark. Generally in fine condition. Contained in a recent cloth case (tao). Extremely rare in any form. 54 Wang Gai et al: JIEZIYUAN HUAZHUAN CHU ER SAN JI. (The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting: Volumes 1-3). 芥子園畫傳初二三集 王概等 千頃堂書局石印. Shanghai, Various paginations of folded leaves. B/w lithographic reproductions of paintings and painting samples throughout. 26x16 cm. Stitched, in 3 blue cloth cases (tao). 3, This is the earliest, and very well-produced, lithographic edition of the three collections (ji) of China s best-known painting manual. Dated Guangxu 13 i.e The bibliographic history of the Jieziyuan Huazhuan is highly complex. The first edition of the first collection is dated 1679 (as is the preface here) but there are many differing theories concerning extant copies and editions. As the manual was so popular, it was much reproduced in varying qualities and formats. The good woodblock editions have very fine multiblock, multicolour printing. This fine monochrome lithographic edition was published by the Shanghai-based Qianqingtang Bookstore and publishers. The illustrations are a pleasure to survey and compare. Mai-mai Sze says that the earliest lithographic edition (the basis for his well-known translations) was by the Qianqingtang bookstore (also Shanghai), thus the edition offered here. The lithography in this work is every bit as good as anything Sze reproduces, if not better. All text in Chinese. In very fine condition with just minor wear and very occasional foxing. With the original cloth cases. Rare indeed. Chou: Art at the Close of China s Empire p.153. Sze: The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting. 55 Wei Yuan: ZENGGUANG HAIGUO TUZHI.

Numerous b/w lithographic illustrations based on woodblock originals. 16 vols. 20x13 cm. Stitched. Original cloth cases with wear. 4, Wei Yuan ( ) was a historian and geographer much concerned with the encroachment of foreign countries and the problems of Chinese foreign relations. This concern peaked with the Anglo-Chinese War of and Wei shortly thereafter published in 1844 an atlas and explication in 60 juan of foreign countries under the title Haiguo Tuzhi. One of the influences on the work was the Sizhou Zhi compiled under the direction of Lin Zexu (Commissioner Lin of Opium War fame) who also recognised the foreign threat. In addition to extensive information on foreign countries, accompanied by numerous map illustrations of said countries rendered Chinese-style, the Haiguo Tuzhi also contains information and detailed technical schematic illustrations of western technology and weaponry in particular, cannons. This work underlay Wei s famous call to Control the Barbarians by Learning Their Skills and, in the preface to the work, Wei states that he hopes the Haiguo Tuzhi will be of assistance to his countrymen in dealing with foreign nations. This work was later revised and expanded to be finally republished in 1852 in an edition containing 100 juan. In 1895 the work was again expanded and reprinted as the Zengguang Haiguo Tuzhi, this time with a supplement of 25 juan containing selections from European works on Anglo-Russian relations and military technique. This is a 1902 lithographic reprint of the 1895 edition by the Shanghai-based publisher, Wenxian Ge. All text in Chinese. Foxing and browning to a number of volumes and illustrations, some loose stitching, otherwise fine. Original cloth cases with wear and loss. Very rare. 56 Wu Jingzi: QUANTU RULIN WAISHI.

In Chinese. This edition is enhanced by 30 full page black-and-white detailed lithographic illustrations in the first volume showing various scenes from the novel. The work is printed and published by the little-known Ersi Tang printing press, of whom we have never heard. Missing the title slip to Volume Four and stitching loose to a couple of the volumes. Rare.

Shanghai, , 50; 2, 50 pp. 100 full page b/w lithographic illustrations. 2 vols. 20x13 cm.

Exquisitely delicate and detailed full page black-and-white lithographic illustration throughout both volumes by the doyen of lithographic illustration, Wu Youru. Published by Shijie Shuju, presumably a subsidiary of the larger, and better-known, Saoye Shanfang, as there is a list of Saoye Shanfang publications and prices pasted on the inside board cover of the case of the work. Dated 1926 in the publisher s colophon at the back of volume two. This page also gives a list of other illustrated works, presumably published by Shijie Shuju, and their prices. Whilst this work stands alone as a beautiful example of lithographic illustration, it has added research interest due to the lists of other little-known published lithographic works. Generally in fine condition. Slight waterstaining to the last few pages of the second volume but not intruding on to the printed area. Stitching possibly later. Very rare. The first time we have handled this work. 58 Wu Youru: WU YOURU HUABAO. (A Treasury of Wu Youru s Illustrations). 吳友如畫寶 吳友如繪. Shanghai, ce, comprising 13 collections (ji) with various paginations. B/w lithographic illustrations throughout each volume. 26 vols. 20x26 cm. Stitched, cloth case. 9, Twenty-six volumes packed full of black-and-white lithographic illustrations showing various themes; famous historical figures, famous beauties (and boudoir scenes), birds and flowers, animals, foreigners, strange happenings, etc. Wu Youru (original name: Wu Jiayou d. 1893) was the foremost lithographic illustrator of the late nineteenth century. He made his name working for Dianshizhai Huabao (The Dianshizhai Pictorial), the famous illustrated supplement to the Shenbao newspaper, where he worked from 1884 to He then set up on his own and published the Feiyingge Huabao (Illustrated Reports from the Pavilion of Flying Shadows). First published in Shanghai in Thirteen collections of works containing Wu s superb illustrations are contained in this set. This later edition contains the thirteenth ji with miscellaneous and supplementary materials that was not present in the original 1908 edition. A delight to dip into and study and a valuable record of the output and range of this accomplished artist. A fine work in good condition. Slight wear to edges of covers. Minor foxing in places and the occasional mark and tear. Contained in a later cloth case for protection. Very rare.

Hundreds of b/w lithographic illustrations, diagrams and maps throughout. 8 vols. 28x19 cm. Stitched, cloth case. 3, The publisher s colophon proclaims this to be the 2nd printing of this dictionary done in 1901 with the preface to the work dated the same year. Superbly illustrated, it is a fine example of a late Qingperiod reference work and educational tool. Produced by Mengxue Tang, a contemporary educational institution for young scholars, it was issued on the cusp of the educational reforms which gripped China in the last throes of empire, and exemplifies this perfectly. Its articles are arranged and indexed by Chinese character and are written in wenyan the (classical) literary language. The illustrations are both traditional in content and style (showing a multitude of scenes and images from orthodox Chinese culture) and reformed in the sense that they show, for example, accurate renderings of cannons, steamships, western-style (rather than Chinese traditional) anatomy, and surprisingly good maps. It might be thought of as a dictionary based on the famous Dianshizhai illustrated newspapers. A fascinating rare item. All text in Chinese. Paper browning but in better condition than is usual for this type of item and they preserve their original paper covers and book labels generally in good condition. The stitching to the individual volumes probably later. Original cloth case. A very good copy of a very rare work.

Xylography. 28x19 cm. Stitched Three of the four gospels, in an early version, one of the many early editions based on Gutzlaff s translation. The font, layout and text correspond with a New Testament listed as Spillett 48 (2487) which we have consulted in the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS) collection, University of Cambridge. The BFBS copy is dated to 1847 with the following inscription in English on a blank preliminary page; New Testament Ninth edition Edited by the Chinese Union / Published by Chin ji tsin Hong Kong / Presented at committee, Aug Spillett records it as W. H. Medhurst s edition as revised by Gutzlaff. The (Chinese) rear cover of the copy here offered is inscribed in a contemporary hand: Chinese / The Gospels of / Mathew [sic] / Mark / & / Luke / By D. Gutzlaff. Somewhat remarkable for the typography and printing, this item is printed with a coarse fangsong/kaiti font that may be intended to refer back to the religious sutra printing of the Song period, but which does not quite achieve such elegance. Notable as one of the many attempts of Protestant Missionary printing to elaborate the book design and production of Holy Scripture in Chinese. The wide variation in Chinese Bible book design is also, of course, a function of furious evangelical publication and the proliferation of various contested translation versions. The text of this translation is clearly related to other versions based on Gutzlaff, but is distinct in many ways, all of this textual variation deserving detailed study and research. The book appears to retain its original, simple stitched Chinese-style binding, as issued, there being no sign of its being associated with other parts of a complete New Testament. The leaves and edges are somewhat worn and chipped with damp staining to the covers themselves and a few outer leaves. Nonetheless the text is complete and the impression clear inside, manifesting its interesting transitional typography.

53 LIST FROM OUR STOCK 605 Shanghai Museum ed: CHUNHUA GE TIE ZUI SHANBEN. (The Finest Editions of Calligraphic Rubbings from the Chunhua Mige Pavilion). 淳化閣帖最善本. Shanghai, ; 43; 37; 33 openings. Full-colour Reproductions of rubbings. 4 vols. 37x27 cm. Accordion-style, between boards, in an elaborate, traditional cloth case. 1, A facsimile edition produced to the highest standards in order to celebrate the return to China of one of calligraphy s most important cultural treasures. Four volumes of rubbings from the Chunhua Ge had found their way into the collection of the American dealer and connoisseur, Robert H. Ellsworth. These were exhibited in the Forbidden City in Beijing in 1996 and subsequently entered the Shanghai Museum collection in The late scholar calligrapher, Qi Gong, called this the most important cultural restitution since Liberation. The Chinese government paid US 4.5 million for these four volumes. In 992 A.D., the Northern Song Chunhua emperor (Song Taizong) commissioned Wang Zhu to copy and carve selected masterpieces of calligraphy in the imperial collections, dating from the Han to the Tang. Most authorities cite this project as the beginning of the Chinese practice of making reproductions of fine art calligraphy (fatie) in the form of ink rubbings taken from intaglio carving of the originals onto stone or wood. It is almost certainly the first official sponsorship of this important cultural practice, which quickly became a parallel calligraphic tradition, doing almost as much to establish the canon of early masterworks as extant original calligraphy itself (ink traces of the actual brush). This collection of carvings and the rubbings made from them became known variously as the Chunhua Ge Tie, or Chunhua Mige Fatie, often simplified to Guan Tie, or Ge Tie. The first set of rubbings made is thought to have been produced in 10 juan or volumes and most subsequent editions follow this format. Three of the volumes now in the Shanghai Museum collection, all reproduced here, are believed to come from the the very first set of rubbings made from the original carvings. Volumes 6, 7 and 8 (of the complete 10) are three of those devoted to the work of China s greatest calligrapher, Wang Xizhi. Thus they form something of a coherent (sub)set and previous collectors clearly treated them as such. The fourth volume reproduced in this facsimile, also acquired from the Ellsworth collection, is a single volume 4 with a separate earlier provenance. Somewhat bizarrely, careful comparative examination of the rubbings reveals that it is volumes 4, 7 and 8 that come from the original first rubbings (from the inscriptions in their pristine state). Volume 6 nonetheless comes from a second-best Northern Song rubbing. For the purposes of contemporary scholarship, the Shanghai Museum s curators and editors clearly and rightly believed that it was important to bring all of these early rubbings together as volumes from the two earliest editions of the collection that constitutes the very fountainhead of Chinese calligraphy as manifested in rubbings. All four volumes do a very good job of reproducing every aspect of the original, including format and binding. Boards for all four are colour-printed with photographic representation of the original patterned brocades, even reproducing wear to the originals. The single fourth volume, somewhat larger in size, reproduces the wooden boards of the original; the other three volumes seem to have covers based on brocade-covered paper boards. In all volumes, the facsimile extends to all preliminaries, including labels, colophons and seals. The colouring of, and wear to, the paper on which the rubbings themselves are mounted in the accordion-style volumes is very well-reproduced. Most importantly, the facsimile rubbings themselves make a very good impression, which immediately evokes the exemplary quality of the originals from which they are taken. Most of the apparatus for these volumes is sensitively included in the facsimile of the fourth volume. There is a table of contents, three substantial essays (in Chinese only) on the associated connoisseurship by Chen Xiejun, Wang Qingzheng and Sun Weizu. Transcriptions into modern characters of all the calligraphy are given in the final openings of each separate volume. All text in Chinese. One of a deluxe edition limited to 1000 copies.
