This is such a book, and it is written by two famous authorities with sympathy, insight, humor, and deep understanding. This partial list of subjects covered will give some idea of the wide scope of the book: Collectors and Collecting, with many amusing anecdotes, also guidance in starting a collection; Copies and Imitations, with practical tests for determining authenticity; Calligraphy and Painting, including the lives of the great painters and a fascinating history of China, its philosophies, religions, and the country's relations with the West: Pottery and Porcelain from the earliest known specimens to the present day, including export porcelains; Sculpture, in wood and stone; Carved Ivory; the Story of Architecture; Furniture and Lacquer. Complete chapters also deal with bronzes; textiles, embroidery, costume, and carpets; jade; the art of cloisonne and painted enamel, gold, silver, jewelry, and ironwork. In addition, there is a complete survey of the subjects and symbolism commonly used in all forms of Chinese art. This includes the most popular tales in Chinese history, drama, literature, and legend. The expert will find that this book covers all existing writings on the subject. It also contains the latest findings in research and excavations which disprove certain previously published theories. Many illusions are dispelled, and light is shed on controversial questions which heretofore have been touched upon only in treatises or monographs. Yet this is not a book solely for the expert. It has been written so that it can be enjoyed and understood by lovers of every form of art, by lay collectors as well as professionals, by historians, researchers, artists, gallery~goers, interior decorators, architects, and by every individual who may have, or wish to acquire, Chinese objects in his home. Over 200 beautiful illustrations, including color, supplement the text. The authors have spent the greater part of their lives in China studying Chinese art at first hand. Boston born, Mr. Burling went to the Orient in 1924 and at the time of Pearl Harbor was Deputy Commissioner at the Inspectorate~General of Customs in Shanghai. After World War II he returned to China for UNRRA. He is at present with the Chinese Branch of the Voice of America. Mrs. Burling is the daughter of a British authority on Eastern art. Their lectures and numerous articles for leading magazines and newspapers have helped to establish them as two of the foremost authorities on Chinese art in this country.
