Shanghai, 2002. 635 pp. Colour plates throughout with many illustrations of close-up detail, 3 panoramic foldouts, colophons and seals. 43x30 cm. Cloth. £1,450.00 A landmark exhibition at the Shanghai Museum to celebrate its 50th anniversary. 72 masterpieces — fine early paintings and callig - raphy from the three best collections in China — the Palace Museum in Beijing (22), with the Shanghai (32), and Liaoning Museums (18) — were brought together. Seventeen works date from the Jin, Sui and Tang; 37 from the Five Dynasties, Northern and Southern Song and 18 from the Yuan dynasty. Many were loaned for the first time and, in the case of the Palace Museum loans, had not left the Forbidden City since entering the Imperial collection. Combining masterpieces from the three collections meant that this was the first time such works had been displayed together and the curators purposely chose related paintings to give scholars and visitors the op - portunity to assess their respective merits. Take, for example, three handscrolls attributed to the 10th century master, Dong Yuan. The three scrolls are all inscribed by the Ming painter and connoisseur, Dong Qichang. Even he, however, did not have the opportunity to compare the three works! Many famous paintings featured in the exhibition, including the ‘Night Revels’ of Han Xizai and the 12th century handscroll ‘Qingming Shanghe Tu’. Work by all Four Masters of the Yuan was represented and the calligraphies included the ‘Letter to Bo Yuan’ by Wang Xun which the Qianlong emperor treasured as one of the three greatest calligraphic works and housed in the Sanxi Tang. A major scholarly resource on early Chinese painting and calligraphy. The reproductions of some of the exhibits are the best avail - able. Nearly all the works are shown both in sections that allows close-up examination of detail together with views of the entire work for the overall effect. A magnificent catalogue which went out-of-print immediately and is highly sought-after in China. We are led to understand that the plates for this volume have been destroyed and thus it will never be reprinted in this form. Essays by Yang Renkai, Shan Guolin and Xiao Yanyi. Prefaces and captions in English. Main text in Chinese.

733 Watanabe Seitei: SEITEI KACHO GAFU. (Seitei’s Album of Flowers and Birds). Tokyo, 1890-91. 24 folded leaves to each volume. Each volume has a couple of pages of introductory text and list of contents and then 21 double page & 2 single page colour woodblock prints. A total of 63 double page and 6 single page prints. 3 vols. 25x16 cm. Stitched. Decorative covers. £2,800.00 A highlight of Meiji book production. An extremely beautiful and accomplished three volume work of bird and flower colour woodblock illustration by Watanabe Seitei that shows a delicacy and restraint lacking in many other works of this genre from the same period. Seitei’s artistry shines through in each illustration. There are a total of 69 colour woodblock prints, of which 63 are double page. The illustrations show birds, mostly amidst flowers and trees and some illustrations just with plants. Ranges from crows in the snow to a cockatoo, finches, a flock of geese, gingko leaves falling onto water and irises. The work is in excellent clean condition with the orig - inal decorative wrappers with a uniform design of grass and flowers in greyish tones. There is pinhole worming to the first volume but this is unobtrusive to the point that, when we first obtained the work, we thought it to be flecks in the paper or small spots from the printing. It does not detract. The three volumes are protected in a new cloth case. As the work was issued in parts over the course of a couple of years, there was no case issued with the work at the time of publication. Text in Japanese. For further information and il - lustrations, see Hillier Art of the Japanese Book. pp. 970-973 for description and illustrations from this work. Very rare.

Cloth. £1,800.00 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 impecuniosity. 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 de - tention 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 fragility. 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 calligraphies are shown actual size and in their entirety. It also in - cludes 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 collec - tors’ seals, colophons and inscriptions. The calligraphies and paintings date from the Eastern Jin to the Qing with the majority of the material being early. 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 un - precedented reproduction of selected works. A superb record of little-known treasures from the Chi - nese 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 cal - ligraphy. A large and weighty set of volumes with dual English and Chinese texts. Highly recommended.

Stitched, cloth case. £250.00 Seventeen of forty chapters from a Qianlong edition of Zhen Dexiu’s ‘Notes’, chiefly on philosophy and ethics in the context of their associated literary philology. Zhen Dexiu (1178-1235, hao: Xishan) was an important statesman of the Southern Song period, also known as a literary scholar and anthologist. Even the most complete surviving editions of Zhen’s ‘Notes’ contain only a small proportion of what is known to have existed (one collection and part of another from a total of four collections, according to the ‘Siku Quanshu Zongmu’). Later editions collect these in 39 or 40 juan, so a complete copy of the work in this edition would have been typical. Although the work is incomplete, it is a well- printed example of an 18th-century Chinese book with highly interesting contents. Each juan of the ‘Notes’ is more or less self-con - tained and focused on a particular topic. For example, juan 1 deals with ‘The Nature of Heaven’s Mandate’; juan 6 and 7 are both on ‘Benevolence’ (ren), containing Zhen’s readings in the classics and philological notes on the usage and significance of this central Con - fucian concept. The title page and ‘benmohou’ (notes after publication) are dated Qianlong 4 or 1739, but the first preface in this edition has the later date of Qianlong 8 or 1743. The design, condition and printing of the book are in line with these dates. The book is clearly printed on darkish bamboo paper. Some repairs have been made and the fascicles have been protected with mod - ern paper covers at some point and given a new cloth case. There is expected wear to some of the outer leaves and the title page has suffered some worming, but condition is generally good. Rare.
