Beijing, 2007. 335 pp. Colour plates throughout. 31x23 cm. Boards. £90.00 A book on this subject has been much needed and awaited.

These painted designs (which also bore details of size and shape of the proposed ceramic object) were sent to Jingdezhen and ceramics there manufactured from the designs.

An excellent visual reference and research tool both into Qing imperial ceramics and the workings of the Zaobanchu. Illustrated through - out in colour, many of the ceramics being illustrated in multiple views to show to full effect their relation with the painted designs. Text in Chinese. Recommended.

Western Han Chu tombs at Xuzhou in China’s Jiangsu province. The Kingdom of Chu was an important Han vassal state. The exhibition shows finds from a number of tombs, primarily large and interesting tomb figurines of which some beautiful dancers and musicians are worthy of mention. Of particular note, the Beidongshan tomb, excavated in 1986, yielded over 200 fine painted terracotta tomb figures. However, it is the Shizishan tomb, excavated in 1994-95, that yielded the most finds. The tomb was initially famous for the copi - ous numbers of large and varied tomb figurines found in a nearby pit. The other finds from the tomb itself are equally stunning and extremely refined — extensive quantities of fine bronzes and jades, seals, gilt-bronze, gold plaques and gilt belt hooks, a superb jade burial suit, an extraordinary jade and lacquer coffin and equally fine jade, gold and bronze boxes. 136 exhibits are shown, many comprising multiple objects. Illustrated throughout with fine colour plates, many showing close-up details and objects photographed from different angles. For many of the exhibits, this is their first public show - ing.

Fuzhou, 2005. 235; 164; 132 pp. B/w photographs throughout each volume. 3 vols. 28x21 cm. Paper. £105.00 Morrison, the famous correspondent of The Times, lived in China for twenty years from 1897-1920 through the tumultuous years of the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republican Period. This set of three books presents a large selection of the 3000 photos that Morrison took and collected during his time in China. It gives a unique view of China as the old regime and old ways of life were coming to an end and as the country began the long road to modernisation. As Morrison travelled widely, the reader sees much of China at the turn of the 20th century. Unique photos show the siege of Peking during the Boxer rebellion, the return of the imperial court to the Forbidden City, the funeral of the Empress Ci Xi, the south-west of China and other little-known areas at the time. The volumes present a comprehensive, fascinating and illuminating picture of China during these exceptional years, whilst at the same time showing the life of an expatriate living and travelling throughout the country and those of the Chinese from all walks of life. The three volumes are entitled: Morrison of Peking; Catastrophe at the Turn of the Century; Eyewitness of the Reformation. Each volume illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs.

B/w text illustrations and drawings. 37x26 cm. Cloth. £650.00 Volume One of a set of three volumes showing the finds from Heishuicheng — Khara-khoto — held in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. The city was discovered by the Russian archaeologist, Kozlov, in 1908 and was the only major Russian discovery on the Silk Route. The ruined city is located in the Gobi desert in China on the border with Mongolia and is the long-lost Tangut (Xixia) city of Etzina mentioned by Marco Polo. The city was destroyed in the 14th century by the Chinese. Kozlov found manuscripts, books, coins, Buddhist objects and 25 beautifully preserved Buddhist paintings on silk. The haul apparently filled 10 chests. Aurel Stein later dug at the site and in the surrounding area, his efforts yielding a number of objects and described in his work ‘Innermost Asia’. This first volume illustrates 78 examples of Buddhist paintings on pieces of fresco, paper, hemp, wood and silk. All shown in full page colour, many in multiple views and showing close-up detail. Destined to be the prime visual reference on the Kozlov finds. Introductions and captions in English and Russian. Fuller text in Chinese. Published in an extremely limited edition of 300 copies, of which only 100 or so have been made available for sale. We are unable to obtain more.
