Between 1987 and 1991, the Chinese graphic and fine artist, Xu Bing (born, Chongqing, 1955, and a 1999 MacArthur Fellow), de - signed a ‘vocabulary’ of four thousand characters which appear, in terms of their graphic form and structure, to be Chinese, but which are entirely unreadable in terms of natural linguistic signification. None of them appear in Chinese dictionaries, and they do not re - late to any other language on earth. During the same period, Xu personally carved (in reverse) the pear-wood type from which he even - tually had his ‘Tianshu’ or ‘Book from the Sky’ set and hand-printed in a small bookmaking factory in China. As a conceptual art work and printmaking tour de force, Xu Bing’s ‘Tianshu’ has been seen by some critics and scholars as one of the most important works of late 20th-century Chinese art.

Woodcut portrait of Lü before juan 1; 3 pp. of woodcut diagrams in physical volume 6. 16 vols. 25x16 cm. Stitched, 2 cloth cases. £600.00 A compendium of texts in Chinese attributed to, or concerning, Lü Yan, better known as Lü Dongbin, one of the eight Daoist immortals, whose legend is usually said to be based on a Tang-period historical figure born around AD 755. This, then, is a popular religious book of wisdom, legend and mysticism, centring on the cult of a semi-divine figure, the ‘Patriarch Lü’ of the ‘Complete Realization School’ of Daoism. The latest preface is dated Qianlong 9 or 1744 and the form and state of the book supports this dating. Many editions of ‘Lu Zu Quanshu’ exist with various formats and numbers of chapters (juan), including 32- chapter versions such as this. Bibliographic records in US and Taiwanese databases cite ‘Liu Tishu’ as compiler/editor of most of these, and this Liu may be identified with the Liu Qiaoke who appears in this edi - tion (although we have not been able to confirm this from biographical sources available to us). The book is in relatively good condition for its age. The impression is generally good and clear on high- quality, soft, thin, naturally brownish paper. Stitching is loose for a number of the volumes and outer vol - ume coverings are somewhat worn. Each stitched volume had blue cloth ‘covered corners’, now worn in places, a sign of what was originally a quality contemporary binding and production. The original cloth cases are in poor condition but still fit and provide protection. The book’s cover page is preserved giving publisher’s details as set out in the Chinese characters of our record.

The first reign of the Qing, the Shunzhi Emperor, is excluded due to half of his reign being conducted as a regency and his early death. The Tongzhi and Guangxu Emperors are also excluded due to their being under the domination of Ci Xi who controlled state affairs. Few, if any, seals were produced during these two ‘reigns’. The first volume gives introductions to each reign and the production of seals therein together with lists of seals. Reproductions of seals throughout the other 12 volumes. This is the most comprehensive work produced to date on the subject. Whilst the seals of the Qianlong Emperor have previously been published, those of other reigns have been little covered. This provides a systematic treatment of the seals of the major rulers of the Qing dynasty and is a valuable reference both for study and connoisseurship.

The views include the Forbidden City, Jingshan, Beihai, Zhongnanhai, Summer Palace, , Temple of Agriculture, Altar of the Sun, Yonghegong, the Yellow Temple and a couple of views of shop fronts in the Dongsi area. Curiously, the reprint lacks two plates (nos. 169 and 170) which show views of the Japanese military headquarters in the Dongsi area.

Not that this detracts from what is one of the best and most evocative photographic collections showing the state of the impe - rial precincts at the end of the Qing dynasty. Many of the palace buildings are shabby and the fore - courts overgrown with weeds, underlining the disarray and disrepair of the ruling house. All the plates have captions in English and Chinese.

399 Jin Jian: QINDIN欽G定 W武U英Y殿IN聚GD珍I版AN程 J式UZ。H金 E簡撰NBAN CHENGSHI. (The Process of Printing in Wuyingdian Using Movable Type). . Beijing, 2007. 2, 1, 34 folded leaves, 16 fullpage b/w woodcut illustrations. 27x17 cm. Stitched, cloth case. £40.00 Jin Jian was made Superintendent of Wuyingdian (The Imperial Printing Press) in 1773 and supervised work for compiling the part of the 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 34 FROM OUR STOCK – – HANSHAN TANG BOOKS

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 print - ing. 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. By the time of the completion of the project (around 1794), 134 works had been published and were brought together in a collectanea known as the Wuyingdian Juzhenban Congshu.

Atlas volume plates loose in a new cloth case. £3,500.00 Recounts, in exhaustive detail, Licent’s second series of travels in Northern China between 1923 and 1933. Licent roved throughout North and Central China from Manchuria across Mongolia to Ningxia (the Ordos region), , Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong and Henan. Also includes a brief visit to Japan. Licent was a Jesuit specializing in natural history and his detailed accounts and records aim to be precise in the scientific manner. Covers the ethnology, geology, geography, palaeontology, botany and zoology of the region, in addition to accounts of the historical sites and towns visited, including, then little-known to foreigners, the Yungang Caves. Con - tains, amongst other material, a detailed account of the French Palaeontology Expedition of 1923-24 headed by Licent and Teilhard de Chardin. A monumental work. Four volumes (comprising three text volumes plus a volume of tables) rebound in three. Volume I cov - ers 1923-25, Volume II: 1925-30 and Volume III: 1930-33. There is a separate atlas volume comprised of loose plates. The size of sin - gle page plates 54x39 cm, folding plates (the majority) open out to 78x54 cm. The plates are remarkable for the knowledge of the geography of the areas through which Licent travelled and were originally hand-drawn, undoubtedly from measurements taken en route. The plates are inset with, and supplemented by, numerous interesting black-and-white photographs, both on the map plates and sup - plementary plates. There are also 36 pages of black-and white photographs to the text volumes, each page with a number of photo - graphs. The photographs primarily show the geography of the regions visited but also includes historical sites, architecture, villages and towns, the peoples of areas visited, their lives, religious ceremonies etc. Also a number of photographs of Catholic churches and missionary centres in remote regions. Text in French. A set compiled over the years from various sources. Volumes I and II newly re - bound in a grey cloth binding (here retaining the frail original paper covers) to closely match Volume III rebound earlier in gray cloth. The loose plates in a new blue cloth case. Some marks and the occasional creasing or small tear to a number of the plates. A single library stamp to the frontispiece of Volumes I and II. Due to the work being issued in stages and in a limited edition, it is extremely rare to find a complete set of this important but little-known work.

Additional folded map, not called for in this edition. 23x15 cm. Red straight-grain morocco, elaborately gilt. £450.00 M’Leod (d. 1820) was surgeon aboard the frigate ‘Alceste’, the flagship of the small fleet which accompanied Lord Amherst on the sec - ond British embassy to China in 1816. While the ambassador was embroiled in the complicated protocol of seeking an audience with the Jiaqing Emperor, Captain McLeod set sail for the island of Lewchew (Okinawa) in the East China Sea. Meanwhile, Amherst was failing in his mission to promote better understanding between the two countries, even with the able assis - tance of Robert Morrison as interpreter. Chinese courtiers persuaded the emperor to detect deep insult in Lord Amherst’s delay in pre - senting his credentials. Actually, the ambassador wanted some time to change into his official dress and to assemble his gifts with due care and attention. The embassy was generally regarded as abortive, because of the difficulty of dealing “with a people so remarkable for their jealousy of foreigners, and want of confidence among themselves.” McLeod reunited with the embassy at Canton, but their adventures were not over. On the return journey, the ‘Alceste’ was wrecked but without loss of life. A small island off the Shantung promontory was renamed Alceste Island in memory of the voyage.

In addition to the decoration on the build - ings, there are also a number of vignettes showing palace and hall interiors.

N.p. 1632. 2, 1, 20, 50; 63, 1 folded leaves, Korean style. 2 juan in 2 ce, with an introductory 20-leaf section of illustrations. 8 columns of 21 characters, ‘baikou’, single upper fishtail with floral pattern, double rules all around (although often difficult to distinguish), printed area 23x20 cm. B/w woodcut illustrations. 2 vols. 34x24 cm. Stitched. £2,000.00 A highly-interesting illustrated work on funerary rites and practices, printed in Korea at the end of the (Chinese) Ming period. The woodblock illustrations show a variety of content relating to funerary rites, ranging from people, costumes and coffins to funerary struc - tures, processions and headstones. The date, Chongzhen year 4, is taken from a brief printer’s note on the final leaf of volume two. The editor’s preface is dated Wanli gengshen (1620) and the postface, first year of Tianqi (1621). The publication date of 1632 and the format and condition of the book are entirely commensurate, and match, with records of this edition in the National Library of Korea. The somewhat patchy quality of the impression may, however, suggest a later printing from original blocks. Sin Ui-gyong was a Korean scholar and interpreter of Chinese Confucian theory and practice who flourished in the early 17th century; his editor’s dates are 1548-1631. The book is in fair condition for its age, retaining its original Korean-style pattern-embossed paper covers (made, in part, from the discarded leaves of at least one other example of early Korean print - ing and so adding interest to the material form of this copy) and possibly even its original stitching. The covers, however, are, as per usual with works of this age, worn, stained and chipped with some loss. The front edges of the leaves in volume one have also been rubbed and worn such that the folds of many leaves are split. Nonetheless, both volumes are fairly firm and they are complete. The printed leaves and impression are largely unaffected by wear to the covers and front edges. There is some staining to the leaves, especially in Volume Two. The book is printed on a soft, high quality, naturally darkened paper with distinct fibrous texture, typical of Korean printing. The impression is not of the best and the textured paper also influences the impression. Despite these reservations concerning condition, this is a fine example of early Korean printing with some engaging examples of woodblock illustration. Rare. 150 53 LIST – – FROM OUR STOCK

The fascicles and leaves themselves are in fine condition with just minor wear and very occasional foxing. A fine copy. In Chinese. Rare.
