Reproduces a complete set of the 376 collotype plates comprising the earliest photographic survey of the Buddhist mural paintings and sculptures at the Mogao grottoes near Dunhuang. The photographs were taken during Pelliot’s visit to the caves in 1908 by his expedition companion, Nouette, who assiduously pho- tographed everything Pelliot considered worthy of record. The work was ready for publication in 1914 but the war delayed it until 1920. Pelliot never wrote an accompanying text. The photographs comprise a most important visual resource for art historians and collec- tors showing the murals and sculptures and their condition in the early 20th century at the time that the great Central Asian expedi- tions by western explorers were being undertaken. Their importance is increased due to the fact that the caves suffered vandalism in the 1920s by White Russian soldiers who camped at Mogao.

Stitched, 2 silk-cases. £750.00 Facsimile reprint of the 1606 edition, together with later eulogies of Cheng’s mastery of ink-cake manufacturing. Throughout the book are designs of inkcakes by Ding Yunpeng. The ‘Chengshi Moyuan’ is also remarkable for the inclusion of three images from the Gospels, taken from the ‘Evangelicae historiae imagines’. A luxurious publication in close imitation of the Ming period edition. The original is one of the most important Ming period illustrated books, extremely rare and sought-after. A few copies — for exam- ple that in the Percival David Foundation collection in London — were printed in a number of colours, amongst the earliest examples of Chinese colour printing, although this was done by brushing coloured inked onto distinct regions of a single block for each pull of a leaf, rather than using sets of blocks as in later multicolour woodblock printing. In effect these copies have the characteristics of mono- prints and are unique.

Beijing, 2015. 403; 475 pp. Full page colour plates throughout both volumes. Colour text plates. 2 vols. 40x29 cm. Boards. £1,400.00 Large, weighty and truly excellent two-volume catalogue of an important exhibition at the Gugong Museum in Beijing. The Shiqu Baoji (’The Precious Collection of the Stone Moat’) catalogue was commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor in 1744 and first published in 1745. An additional volume was later added by his successor, the Jiaqing Emperor. It was a comprehensive catalogue of the Qing imperial collection of paintings and calligraphy, unsurprisingly listing numerous choice, rare and unique works accumulated by the Ming and Qing emperors. It thus cuts to the core of imperial connoisseurship, not least under the most literati of Qing rulers, the Qianlong Emperor. Shiqu ‘Stone Moat’ was the name of the hall where the Han dynasty emperors held rare books and Qianlong pre- sumably chose this title to emphasize the continuity of imperial collecting over the centuries. The exhibition broadly divided into two main sections: ‘The Catalogues’ and ‘The Collection’. One volume devoted to each of these themes. ‘The Catalogues’ volume subdivided into sections as follows: Provenance of the Calligraphy and Paintings Recorded; The Com- pilers; The Compilation Principles; Repositories of The Shiqu Baoji; Editions and Collection Seals. A total of 85 exhibits. The second volume covering ‘The Collection’ is in the following two sections: Collections of the Court and Recovered Treasures. 115 exhibits. Both volumes illustrated throughout with superb paintings and calligraphy dating from the Five Dynasties and the Song onwards through the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. List of plates with descriptive detail in English at the back of each volume. Main text in Chinese. Produced in an edition of just 1000 copies of which very few have been made available for general sale as the majority of the edi- tion has been presented to government officials and cultural organizations to commemorate the Gugong Museum’s 90th anniversary. We have managed to obtain but a couple of copies. Out-of-print and now completely unobtainable.

Japanese edition of the famous Chinese illustrated work, the Shanhai Jing — Classic of Mountains and Seas. The work was compiled by Guo Pu in the Eastern Jin period in the 4th century AD and describes geographical features of China and the mythological creatures which inhabit them. It has had an enduring influence. For full details on, and a translation of, the ‘Shanhai Jing’, see Strassberg: ‘A Chinese Bestiary’. The earliest Japanese edition of the famous and early Chinese work ‘Shanhai Jing’, published in the 1660s, was copied from a fine late Ming dynasty (Chongzhen period 1628-1644) illustrated edition that is closely based on one of the first two Chinese illustrated editions of the ‘Shanhai Jing’ done c.1600 during the Wanli reign and which are the oldest extant illustrated editions of this work. The 1660s Japanese edition very closely emulates the Wanli edition illustrated by Jiang Yinghao and has the preface written by the exiled scholar-official, Yang Shan (1488-1559), towards the end of his life. This edition is regarded as the more important of the two Wanli illustrated editions, not least because of Yang’s renown as an expert on the ‘Shanhai Jing’ and Jiang’s fine woodcut illustrations. FROM OUR STOCK – 28 – HANSHAN TANG BOOKS

The 1660s Japanese edition relates exactly in text format (9 columns per page each with 20 characters) to the entry in ‘Zhongguo Guji Shanben Zongmu’ Zibu Section: p.1042 entry 42 for an undated Ming edition of Shanhai Jing stated as having illustrations by Jiang Yinghao. The last page of juan 18 of the 1660s Japanese version states that Jiang Yinghao was the illustrator, based in Wulin (an area of Hangzhou known for printing during the Ming). This is presumably the Chongzhen edition. Whilst the text conforms closely in format and style to the Ming edition, Japanese reading marks have been added. The illustrations are pure Ming in essence. From reading Strassberg (p.75) the definitive clues to the 1660s Japanese edition being derived from the Chongzhen edition are: (1) That there are 74 illustrations as opposed to the 76 in the Wanli edition done by Jiang Yinghao. (2) The illustrations were engraved by Liu Suming. The first illustration at top right has the characters ‘Suming kan’ (published by Su Ming). Liu Suming was a member of a leading family of publishers based in Jianyang, Fujian province, and known to be active as an engraver at the end of the Ming dynasty. He closely copied the Wanli edition illustrations done by Jiang Yinghao. (3). Li Wenxiao engraved the text. The last page of juan 18 also states that Li Wenxiao (using his alternate name: Li Xiyu) was the engraver, Li again being known to be active at the end of the Ming. All the above are present in the 1660s Japanese edition. This is the first time we have seen this Meiji edition apparently published in 1902 in Osaka by Maekawa Zenbe from blocks held in the Buneido studio. What is striking is how closely it resembles (in both quality and detail of reproduction) the 1660s first Japanese edition. This 1902 edition conforms in all ways to the first Japanese edition as detailed above. A remarkably fine production. There is vague mention of an early 19th century (Bunka period?) reprint done in five volumes with cruder illustrations. The book was not then reprinted until this fine Buneido edition. Text in Chinese with Japanese reading marks. A total of 74 double page black-and-white woodblock illustrations. In seven volumes. Original blue covers with wear. Original title slips. There is some dampstaining to parts of volumes 1 and 7 but oherwise the work is in remarkably good clean condition and the printed impression of text and images is clear and strong.

Recent marbled boards. £150.00 Three-volume rebound set of the original German edition. Heine was the official artist attached to the Perry expedition. This work is considered a continuation to his work on the Perry expedition. The three volumes detail the work of the 1853-6 North Pacific Survey- ing Expedition headed by Commodore Colin Ringgold and, later, Commodore John Rodgers. The Expedition was undertaken at about the same time that Perry undertook his famous visit to Japan. Its purpose was to define safe maritime routings for American shipping to the Far East. Whilst Heine did not accompany this expedition, he viewed it as an important event and edited and translated the ac- count into German. Details the Expedition’s journey to Japan, observations on Japan and the Japanese, notes on Kamchatka and the Siberian Far East. There are a total of 24 pages of fine engraved prints (predominantly full page), of which 16 are tinted and 8 are black-and-white. The plates are mostly engraved by C. Heyn and show scenes of Japanese people and landscapes, plus sites the Expedition visited. The maps are of particular interest and importance and, in this copy, are in fine clean condition with minimal tears. The first folding map in volume one shows the southern coast of China from Hainan island past Canton and Hong Kong up past Amoy to northern Fu- jian. It includes the northern Philippines, Taiwan and the southern Japanese islands. The second folding map shows the northern part of China from south of Shanghai up past the Shandong peninsula and round to the Korean peninsula and an anonymous Chinese Tar- tary. it also includes the Japanese archipelago. Whilst there is detail to the coastal regions on both maps, the interiors of all the coun- tries shown are largely blank — an indication of the limited knowledge at the time. The first map in volume two shows the northern coast of Taiwan — Keelung, the coastline and positions of the main coal mines in the area. The second folding map shows the Pacific with locations and tracks of recent storms. The three maps in volume three comprise: a map of the Pacific showing the distances be- tween major points and the route of the Perry Expedition; the Amur river from its estuary near Sakhalin (which is shown in its ma- jority) upriver into the Siberian wastes; the final map shows the northern Pacific from northern Japan up past Sakhalin and the Kamchatka peninsula past the Bering strait, Alaska and the Aleutians and down the Canadian coast to northern California. This map shows the routes of the various ships. Not listed in Cordier or Pages. Text in German. Rare. 297 Henan Sheng Wenhua Ju Wenwu Gongzuo Dui: ZHENGZHOU ERLI GANG.

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

N.p. (Shanghai) n.d. (1920s/30s). Various paginations of folded leaves. Numerous b/w full page illustrations. 6 vols. 20x13 cm. Stitched. Original case. £1,200.00 Fine lithographic edition of a well-known Chinese work on military history. The author, Qi Jiguang (1528-1587), was a high-ranking and very experienced military officer during the Ming dynasty who produced a very comprehensive military manual. The compilers of the ‘Siku Quanshu Congmu’ have nothing but praise for the quality of information in Qi’s manual and, in particular, for the directness and simplicity of his writing. Many of the chapters, as here, were illustrated and Siku compilers take the ‘Jixiao’ to refer to these qual- ities: ‘notes’ that give ‘effective’ guidance based on experience. This edition is a Republic period lithographic reprint, in reduced-format, of a Daoguang 21 (1841) edition. There is a chapter on banners, and is worthy of attention for the finesse and interest of the woodblock illustrations. It seems also to be lacking one leaf (the first) from the chapter, but what remains is full of lively interest — gate banners, banners of the five directions (including the centre) and their spirits and qualities, banners based on constellations, zodiacal animals and spirit generals. There is no indication of date but it is obviously a lithographic edition, pubished by the Zhongguo Wenxue Shuju — the China Liter- ary Bookshop’ known to have been active in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s and who produced high-quality reduced format facsimiles (as here) of famous works.

Aimed at a school audience as a couple of the posters show children per- forming simple experiments that demonstrate how the weather works.

Rare graphic design and iconography from the start of the Communist period in China. Interesting imagery that is slightly naive and distinctive of that time.

Accompanied by the original envelope that has separated into its constituent front and back parts and with much wear, tear and loss.

Beijing, 2004. 7, 2, 624 (over 600 pp. colour plates); 9, 626 pp. (over 600 pp. colour plates) A number of foldouts. 2 vols. 45x33 cm. Cloth. £3,500.00 An absolutely magnificent two-volume catalogue of an exhibition of early calligraphy and paintings commemorating the opening of the new Liaoning Provincial Museum. In the period leading up to his expulsion from the Forbidden City in November 1924, the last Emperor, Pu Yi, selected a number of the finest treasures from the collection that were easily portable. These included an undefined (but not insignificant — it is said up to 1200) number of paintings, album leaves and calligraphy, the majority early. Pu Yi, together with his brother Pu Jie, were said to have smuggled this material, along with other light pieces, out of the Forbidden City as an in- surance policy against financial distress. When Pu Yi later became the puppet ruler of the Manchukuo regime in north-east China, this material undoubtedly went with him. The paintings have since become known as the Northeast or Liaoning Group. It appears that over a period of time some of these paintings went to Japan and elsewhere. Following the defeat of the Japanese and the detention of Pu Yi, the remainder ultimately entered the Liaoning and Jilin Provincial Museums or were returned to the Gugong Museum in Beijing. This work shows 39 calligraphies and 53 paintings (in a second volume) in the Liaoning Provincial Museum, many here exhibited and illustrated for the first time due to their fragile nature. These 92 works comprise the entire holding of works known to have been taken by Pu Yi that are in the Liaoning Museum collection plus two very fine Liao paintings excavated in Liaoning province. All the cal- ligraphies are shown actual size and in their entirety. It also includes all accompanying colophons, inscriptions and collectors seals. The paintings are again all shown in their entirety, with many also reproduced in their original sizes and again showing collectors’ seals, colophons and inscriptions. The calligraphies and paintings date from the Eastern Jin to the Qing with the majority of the ma- terial being early. Comprises 1 Eastern Jin work, 7 from the Tang, 2 Five Dynasties, 41 from the Song, 2 from the Liao, 1 from the Jin, 17 Yuan, 20 Ming examples and 1 Qing work. All the works are reproduced in fine colour plates throughout with many folding out to give unprecedented reproduction of selected works. A superb record of little-known treasures from the Chinese imperial collection that have a distinct cachet due to their obscure recent history. Given the high quality of the colour plates and the reproduction of many works in their original size, this is also an important tool in the research of early Chinese painting and calligraphy. A large and weighty set of two volumes with dual English and Chinese texts. Highly recommended. 677 Yang Tingzhuo & Pan Shenghi ed: BAI MIAO TU CHAOBEN HUIBIAN.
