Item description from seller

Color-illustrated jacket over matching wraps with white lettering; French flaps. 47 pp. BW and color illustrations. "The Ming dynasty reception hall in the Philadelphia Museum of Art is well known as an exceptional monument of Chinese architecture. When the painted decoration in the hall was subject to a major conservation treatment in 1995-96, Museum conservator Sally Malenka, scientist Beth Price, and assistant curator Adriana Proser conducted important new research with regard to its history and painted decoration. The results of their investigations, published her, show once mor that the fame of the Musuem's hall is full deserved." -Foreword. VG. May have owner's writing inside front cover.

Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
