368 Chavannes, Edouard: MISSION ARCHEOLOGIQUE DANS LA CHINE SEPTENTRIONALE. Publ. Ecole Francaise Extreme-Orient 13. Paris, 1909-15. 614 pp. text, 587 plates. A number folding. Plates 1-488 (containing 1179 b/w photographic illustrations) loose in two board portfolios. Plates 489-587 (uncut) in the two text volumes. A total of 1739 b/w illustrations. 4 vols. 33x26 cm. Paper. Some wear to covers. £6,800.00 A complete set of this work, being a comprehensive and, most importantly, one of the earliest photographic surveys of the sculptural art of China during the Han period and Buddhist sculptural art. Chavannes led two expeditions to Northern and Central China, the ﬁrst in 1893 and a second, more extensive undertaking in 1907. The expeditions surveyed and recorded various archaeological sites. Covers Henan, Sichuan, the Yungang Caves, the Longmen Grottoes, various other monuments of Buddhist sculpture, Han dynasty monuments, the imperial tombs of the Tang and Song, sites and monuments in the Northeast of China, the tomb and temple of Confu - cius in Qufu, Kaifeng, Xi’an, Taiyuan, Wutaishan and Datong, together with many other sites, monuments and ancient buildings in and around these areas. In addition, shows objects from museums, tomb rubbings and epitaphs. The black-and-white photographic illustrations on the plates comprise the ﬁrst photographic record of many of the archaeological sites and historical monuments surveyed and this work is thus an important visual reference and scholarly record of many monuments and artefacts now destroyed or greatly changed. The plates were issued in parts between 1909 and 1915 which explains their extreme scarcity as a complete set. Accompanied by the two separately-issued smaller text volumes, one entitled ‘La Sculpture a l’Epoque des Han’, the second ‘La Sculpture Bouddhique’. Wear and sunning to the original board portfolios. The plates are generally in good condition. Marginal waterstaining to the very edges of a small number of plates. No images affected. The occasional marginal tear and crease commensurate with age. The two paper bound text volumes (as with other copies of these text volumes that we have handled) are in danger of splitting down the spine and could do with rebinding in cloth to secure them. Text in French. Very rare as a complete set.

473 Hunter, Ste希ph伯en來 A書: 總 XI論B O。L A洪I士SH提U反 Z O撰 NGLUN. (An Analysis of the Book of Hebrews). . Shanghai, 1890. 1, 1, 3, 4 folded leaves Chinese-style. 5 lithographic reproductions of engravings by G. B. Nicholls and one diagram. 26x16 cm. Stitched. £450.00 The text is the Rev. Dr. Hunter’s analytical exposition of the main points of the New Testament book, ‘Epistle to the Hebrews’, traditionally attributed to St Paul. This basically concerned the relation - ship between Old Testament Hebrew rites and sacrifices, which St Paul interprets as having been brought to perfection in Christ’s crucifixion. Part of the Epistle (especially chapter 9) describes the tabernacle, sacrifices and operation of the Hebrew priesthood, and Hunter’s Chinese text is helpfully provided with illustrations and diagrams showing the layout of the veiled tabernacle, the Holiest place beyond the second veil, the Holy of Holies (the ark of the covenant) and various ritual actions — all things quite unfamiliar to his ‘native’ brethren. His intention was that the relationship between Old Testament Judaism and New Testament Christianity be better understood by the Chinese; that the old ritual then be compared and contrasted to Christ’s ‘greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands’. Printed in two colours, with text in red providing emphasis. A rare example of printing from the American Presbyterian Mission Press, highly unusual for the illustration and exposition of Ju - daic ritual in this missionary context.

(The Jiujing Xingshi Illustrated Paper). . Beijing, 2003. 10, 173 pp. B/w illustrations throughout 29x29 cm. Cloth. £50.00 An interesting work on a publication about which we can find no information, other than that stated in this book. The Jiujing Xingshi Huabao, roughly translated as ‘Illustrated News of the Striking World of the Old Capital’, had a very short life span, being printed in only 60 or so issues in Beijing in 1908/9. The work appears to be a Beijing version of the successful Dianshizhai Huabao and associ - ated publications that flourished in Shanghai from the 1880s onwards. Each illustrated edition (of which 42 are shown here) comprised just a few pages and told various tales, often strange and scandalous, of life in Beijing. The work lacks the finesse of the Shanghai ver - sions but is similar in style. In Chinese. 484 Judge, Joan: PRINT AND POLITICS. ‘Shibao’ and the Culture of Reform in Late Qing China.

510 勞LA動 O鍛DO煉 N詩G畫 D冊UANLIAN SHIHUA CE. (A Picture Album Showing Reform Through Manual Labour). . Chongqing, 1959. 108 pp. Colour and b/w illustrations throughout. 30x26 cm. Cloth, dustjacket. £95.00 A rare propaganda publication from the late 1950s illustrating and detailing the virtues of the ‘Laodong Duanlian’ (Reform Through Manual Labour) movement aimed at Chinese intellectuals. Mao felt that intellectuals — ranging from those involved in the arts through to academics — were distant from the Chinese masses due to their non-participation in manual labour. Under the Laodong Duanlian movement which began in the 1950s intellectuals from cities throughout China were sent to the countryside to work with and learn from the Chinese peasants and workers. Although it was obligatory for intellectuals to undertake Laodong Duanlian, the movement was gen - erally well-received during the 1950s. It was only during the Cultural Revolution that Laodong Duanlian took on a negative context being used for the forced reeducation of intellectuals and other political ‘offenders’. This work through a combination of photographs, colour illustration and black-and-white cartoons shows the process of Laodong Duanlian, intellectuals participating in and gaining benefit from the process together with good deeds undertaken and tasks achieved.

545 M’Leod, John M. D: VOYAGE OF HIS MAJESTY’S SHIP ‘ALCESTE’. Along the Coast of Corea to the Island of Lewchew; with an Account of her Subsequent Shipwreck. London, 1818. 8vo, 4 ff., 323 pp., 2 ff. publisher’s advertisements, engraved portrait frontispiece and 5 coloured aquatints by J. Clark after W. H. Dwarris. 24x15 cm. New half leather with marbled boards. £350.00 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. Second extended edition.

550 Mason, George Henry: THE COSTUME OF CHINA. Illustrated by Sixty Engravings: with Explanations in English and French. London, 1804. [14], 60 fullpage engraved hand-coloured plates, each with 2 accompanying pages of explanatory text, one in English and one in French. 37x27 cm. Contemporary full red morocco extra gilt. £2,600.00 A fine copy of this famous work on Chinese costume with plates engraved in stipple by J. Dadley from drawings of Pu Qua of Canton, and coloured by hand. The first of William Miller’s celebrated series of costume books. It was designed to satisfy the upsurge of interest in China in the wake of Lord Macartney’s embassy. George Mason was quite familiar with the subject, having spent some time in Canton in the 1790’s re - covering his health after a period in India. Pu-Qua’s plates represent the earliest Chinese export watercolours which can be assigned to a named artist — though it is less cer - tain whether the name is that of an individual or of a studio. First published in 1800 and reprinted (as here) due to popular demand. The subject matter of the 60 full page hand-coloured illustrations (each with accompanying descriptive pages of text in English and French) ranges from ‘A Mandarin of Distinction’ and ‘A Frog Catcher’ to many other plates depicting trades and livelihoods such as a Carpenter, Stone-Hewer and a Mender of Porcelain. Other appealing illustrations include ‘A Puppet-Show’, ‘ A Tinker’, ‘Beggar with Monkey’ and ‘A Man with a Raree-Show’. Dual texts in English and French including the prefaces. A fine copy with generous margins. Bound in full contemporary red morocco with much gilt to covers and spine. The spine expertly (almost invisibly) rebacked using the original back strip. Some foxing to the front and end papers only. The text and illustrations nice and clean with just minor offsetting.

Illustrated colour title page and 31 pp. colour lithograph illustrations, mostly full page. 19x25 cm. Decorative boards. £600.00 A very rare work about which we can ﬁnd little information. The brief record of the copy held in the British Library states that it was published in 1885. The work is undated and our feeling is that it was done somewhat later, around 1900, a view perhaps strengthened by a book plate on the inside front cover stating that it was presented as a geography prize (!) to a French student in 1904. The work is of a satirical nature depicting the travels of the two Chinese as per the title. Ordered by the Emperor of China to go to France and proclaim his name, the illustrations and captions describe their voyage by ship from China via various ports to France and their ad - ventures and escapades en-route and on board in the company of various foreigners. The full page colour illustrations are cartoons and satirical and humorous in style, as are the accompanying captions. The work parodies both the Chinese and their fellow foreign travellers on board ship, the British Milord and Milady Brandyfull, the Italian musician, Macaroni etc. etc. The French generally es - cape such ridicule. Given the numerous foreigners and the general parodying of the Chinese, it seems to us that the work was inspired by the events of the Boxer Rebellion. The illustrations are very individual in style and we have seen very little of a similar nature. Le Mouel was apparently a writer and illustrator active in France in the early 20th century, but a number of the illustrations are signed ‘Gillot’ (about whom we can ﬁnd nothing) so presumably illustrations by Gillot, text by Le Mouel. A very interesting and enjoyable work providing much insight into the French view of China (and other foreign nations!) at the beginning of the 20th century. In French.

The ceramics are wonderful and include superb Longquan wares, plus many pieces from Jingdezhen and a number of examples from Yaozhou and elsewhere. The gold and silver from Pengzhou is marvellous and it is rare to see such a range of Song gold and silver exhibited together. The ceramics and gold and sil - ver, when examined together, provide much interest in demonstrating the interplay of form and design between different media during the Song dynasty. Finally, the bronzes from the Pengzhou hoard. Fifteen very fine and rare examples of Song dynasty bronzes that em - ulate archaic bronze forms (as, indeed, do some of the ceramics), the study of antiquity being of much interest at the time.

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 funer - ary rites, ranging from people, costumes and coffins to funerary structures, processions and head - stones. 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. 52 FROM OUR STOCK – – HANSHAN TANG BOOKS

Sin Ui-gyong was a Korean scholar and interpreter of Chinese Confucian theory and practice who flourished in the early 17th cen - tury; 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 printing 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 wood - block illustration. Rare. 648 Sinclair, Kevin: THE YELLOW RIVER.
