Interior with minor signs of wear.; With the elegance, discrimination and knowledge that distinguished his two recent and brilliantly received albums of nineteenth-century photographs of Asian life, The Last Empire and Imperial China, the photo-historian Clark Worswick now gives us this landmark photographic album of Japan from 1854-1905. The beauty and fierceness of that country's almost medieval nineteenth-century society is revealed in 120 extraordinary photographs by the remarkable Euro- pean and Japanese photographers of the day. In this book-which includes 16 pages in full color reproducing the artfully hand-tinted photographs the Victorians loved-we see the splendor that marked the final years of the Tokugawa shogunate and the first, often curious, images of Westernization that heralded Japan's transformation from an insular, feudal country to a modern world power. Here are the faces, the costumes, the manners, the professions of that time, the landscapes, the countryside, the city streets, the interiors rich and poor. The development of a Japanese vision in photography can be attributed to a heterogeneous mix of talents- European as well as Japanese. Among those represented here: Felix Beato, an Italian military photographer who was the first, and the most important, European photographer in Japan and who extensively documented the last years of the old regime; Baron von Stillfried, an Austrian nobleman who later bought out Beato's firm and whose dramatic studio portraits were characterized by a grave beauty and a singular intensity; and, in an astonishing modern mode, the two leading Japanese photographers of the time, both of them trained by and in many ways surpassing Beato and Stillfried. One of them, Kusakabe Kimbei, the protégé of Stillfried, perfected the art of the psycho- logical portrait and became the great Japanese photographer of the nineteenth century; the other, Ogawa Isshin, the most successful society photographer of nineteenth-century Japan, whose exquisite portraits are best considered in the context of a renaissance of traditional, spiritual Japanese art.

From random discoveries over the centuries, from legends and written records that seem scarcely removed from the realm of legend, and from a few limited excavations, the Bronze Age in China has long been thought to be one of the great epochs in the history of art. Now, thanks to astonishing recent finds by Chinese archaeologists, those legendary glories have become reality. The evidence is here, in this book and in the unprecedented exhibition on which it is based-105 precious objects in bronze, jade, and terracotta, chosen by the People's Republic of China from among the finest and most spectacular discoveries of recent years, and now seen for the first time outside their land of origin. Beginning with the shadowy Xia dynasty (which traditional chronology dates from 2205 to 1760 B.C.), coming into full flower in the Shang (now dated from about 1700 to about 1030 B.C.) and the Zhou (about 1030. to 256 B.C.), and lingering on through the Qin (221 to 206 B.C.) and into the Han that followed, the Chinese Bronze Age saw the development of the Chinese state, of writing and religious rituals, of architectural styles and urban culture. It also and pre- eminently-saw the rise and refinement of bronze metallurgy, and the works of art that were its highest expression. No other people on earth has ever created such bronzes. The group shown and discussed here-ritual vessels, weapons, bronze standards, even a complete set of fourteen exquisite bells- may be the most impressive ever assembled, and includes discoveries so recent that they are virtually unknown even to scholars. Here are jars and cups in the shapes of rhinos and elephants and bulls and rams, surfaces inlaid with jade and malachite and precious metals, weapons echoing with the clangor of ancient wars. Here, too, is a splendid array of carved jade pieces-ceremonial blades and tablets, figurines, jewelry. And there is more. Possibly the most stunning archaeological find of the twentieth century occurred in 1974, when excavation began in the huge mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi, the First Emperor of Qin, who died in 210 B.C. after unifying China for the first time in history. Diggers came upon an entire army-no less than seven thousand life-size terracotta figures of soldiers, cavalrymen, and horses, with chariots and other battle gear, still standing, rank after rank, as they had been buried as a guard for their dead emperor more than two thousand years before. Individually modeled with great sensitivity and realism, they evoke their lost world with almost painful immediacy. Eight of them-six men and two horses- are included here, the first to be placed on exhibit anywhere outside China.
