With the exception of a few pieces which at present belong to the National Central Museum, the pictures are housed in the National Palace Museum of Peiping, now located in Taichung, Taiwan (Formosa). Of the three hundred pictures reproduced here, thirty-five are of the T'ang period (A. D. 618-907), twenty-five of the Epoch of the Five Dynasties (A. D. 907-960), eighty-four of the Sung Dynasty (A. D. 960-1279), sixty-one of the Yüan period (A.D. 1279-1368), and eighty-four of the Ming Dynasty (A. D. 1368-1644) and the early Ch'ing period. The dates of the other eleven pictures, portraits of emperors and empresses, are not definitely known and therefore not given. From these pictures, one can obtain a broad view of the styles of the various periods and the course along which Chinese pictorial art has developed. A study of Lu Hung's TEN SCENES OF A THATCHED HALL (plates no. 5-14), Tung Yüan's LANDSCAPE (plate no. 42) and Chü Jan's SEEKING TRUTH IN AUTUMN MOUNTAINS (plate no. 44), for instance, will give one a fairly clear view of the development of landscape painting in China as well as an understanding of the various styles of these great painters. Our selections also show that a great master often adopted, or created by himself, more than one style. In this connection, the Editors have taken special care to include, as far as possible, more than one work of each important artist. For instance, Li T'ang's SOUGHING WIND AMONG MOUNTAIN PINES (plate no. 95) is different in style from his HERMIT FISHING ON A STREAM (plate no. 96); Chao Mêng-fu's RIVERS AND MOUNTAINS (plate no. 145) is different in style from his BAMBOO, ROCK AND OLD TREE (plate no. 147); Ch'iu Ying's MANSION OF THE IMMORTALS IN FAIRYLAND (plate no. 243) is different in style from his CONVERSATION UNDER T'UNG TREES (plate no. 242). The materials presented in these volumes will therefore be of considerable value in a comparative study of the art of painting in China." excerpt from the introduction by Wang Shih-chich, Taiwan, China, January, 1959.

The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; "T…he present publication does not attempt to offer an archaeological or art historical survey of China. Rather it is arranged to convey the major strengths of our holdings. Ceramics are pre-eminent and include the greatest number of examples. Bronzes, though less numerous, are among the most ancient and rarest of Chinese artifacts. The Museum's examples are distinguished by virtue of having come almost directly from their sites of discovery, for the most part. Tomb figurines are now prized by Western collectors for their immediacy of representational effect, and by Chinese for their vivid expression of historical mores. At the time the Museum acquired most of its collection in this category, few Westerners even knew what these small sculptures were, while Chinese looked askance at their collection as a result of the desecration of ancestral burials. Other categories are well represented, though with less numerical and, sometimes, aesthetic strengh." excerpt from the introduction by Hsio-Yen Shih, Curator, Royal Ontario Museum, June 1972.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of White's fine photographic study of the monuments of Shanghai. Folio, original royal blue embroidered silk pictorial boards, illustrated with seventy mounted color and monochrome photographic plates of the celebrated monuments of China's Northern Capital and its environs complete with descriptive and historical n…otes by Herbert C. White, Art Director of Signed of the Times Publishing House, Shanghai. Introduction by Hu Shih, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy at the National University of Peking. In fine condition. Housed in the original publisher's box. Very rare in such fine condition. Herbert C. White (1896-1962) arrived in China in 1922, together with his twin brother James H. White (1896-1954). They opened a language school in Beijing. Attracted by Chinese landscapes and civilization, they used their vacations to travel around the country and took large numbers of photographs. This album is a selection of photographs of the city gates and walls, the Temple of Heaven, the Forbidden City, and the temples and monasteries of Beijing. It presents a realistic view of the city's appearance during the early Republican era. From the preface: "For a long time there has been a recognized need for an album on historic Peking that would embody a representative set of all the important monuments of the capital. The very fact that so many of the ancient landmarks . are being torn from their foundations and ruthlessly destroyed, makes an album of this kind not only interesting as an art volume, but a work of immeasurable value to China and to the world, as an authentic record of picturesque Peking.".

Contact seller4-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Very good+ condition. First edition. Elephant Folio. 154 (1)pp. Original Royal Blue brocade, with lettering, imagery and decorative frame woven into covers; housed in custom-made black cloth slipcase. Frontispiece. Historiated initials at acknowledgments, introduction and preface, historiated initials and e…ndpiece drawings on text pages. Comprising Seventy Photographic Studies of the Celebrated Monuments of China's Northern Capital and Its Environs Complete with Descriptive and Historical Notes. Introduction by Dr. Hu Shih. Printed in b/w collotype. Working as missionaries for eight years the White brothers Herbert Clarence and John Henry took more than four thousand photographs of the city, establishing schools to train young Chinese men and women in employable skills. "Students were taught to print and hand-color their photographs in oil. after 1930 the brothers relocated themselves and their publishing concern to ST. Helena, California. The sepia photos in this volume, each highlighted by a decorative border and captioned simply in Chinese only, are described extensively on facing pages in English. The "northern capital" of the subtitle is Bejing, referencing the shift of 1927, when the Republicans moved the seat of government to Nanjing (southern capital"). It was returned to Bejing in 1937, ending the so-called "Nanjing Decade." This decade roughly corresponds to the period when the White brothers lived in Bejing and photographed a truly beautiful-and now irreparably altered-incarnation of the city that is known today almost solely through old photographs such as theirs." Parr & Lundgren, The Chinese Photobook, pages 44-47. An exceptional copy of this intricate photographic homage to the Forbidden City. Slipcase near perfect. Spine lightly cocked and light scuffing with some very light foxing on endpapers and foredge.
