Marbled boards. £1,900.00 The very scarce 1828 first edition account of an important British mission to the kingdoms of Siam (Thailand) and Cochin China (Vietnam) in 1821-22 with the aim of establishing formal diplomatic relations, so as to stave off the French and open up the area to British trade. Crawfurd had much experience of Southeast Asia and was the logical choice as Envoy. Whilst the embassy met with little success, either diplomatically or trade-wise, it served to much clarify and enhance British information and intelligence. After his return, Crawfurd was, in 1823, appointed Resident of Singapore where he remained until 1826. Following a mission to Ava (Burma) in 1826, Crawfurd retired and returned to England where he wrote this and other accounts of his travels. This work, in addition to the account of the Embassy of 1821-22, includes descriptions of Penang, Malacca and Singapore. The foldout frontispiece three- panel panorama is entitled: ‘View of the Town and Roads of Singapore from the Government Hill’ and measures 27x50 cm. It was drawn by Captain Robert Elliot R.N., and is an important and fine early view of the colony. There is also a full page plate entitled ‘Map and Plan of Singapore’. The large and important linen folding map, measuring 94x62 cm, is entitled: ‘Map of Siam and Cochin China’ and was compiled and engraved by John Walker using up-to-date information from a number of sources. The other engraved plates mainly show the inhabitants of the area. There is also a plan of the city of Bangkok. Later binding. Minor wear to covers.

263 [Bible]: [XIN YIZHAO] MATAI CHUAN FUYIN SHU. MAKE CHUAN FUYIN SHU. LUJIA CHUAN FUYIN SHU. (The New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke in Chinese). 〔新遺詔〕馬太傳福音書．馬可傳福音書．路加傳福音書. N.p.[Hong Kong], n.d. [c. 1847] 20, 13, 21 folded leaves, Chinesestyle. 16 columns of 35 characters. Xylography. 28x19 cm. Stitched. £500.00

Three of the four gospels, in an early version, one of the many early editions based on Gutzlaff’s translation. The font, layout and text correspond with a New Testament listed as Spillett 48 (2487) which we have consulted in the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS) collection, University of Cambridge. The BFBS copy is dated to 1847 with the following inscription in English on a blank preliminary page; “New Testament Ninth edition Edited by the Chinese Union / Published by Chin ji tsin Hong Kong / Presented at committee, Aug. 16 1847.” Spillett records it as W. H. Medhurst’s edition as revised by Gutzlaff. The (Chinese) rear cover of the copy here offered is inscribed in a contemporary hand: “Chinese / The Gospels of / Mathew [sic] / Mark / & / Luke / By D. Gutzlaff.” Somewhat remarkable for the typography and printing, this item is printed with a coarse ‘fangsong/kaiti’ font that may be intended to refer back to the religious sutra printing of the Song period, but which does not quite achieve such elegance. Notable as one of the many attempts of Protestant Missionary printing to elaborate the book design and production of Holy Scripture in Chinese. The wide variation in Chinese Bible book design is also, of course, a function of furious evangelical publication and the proliferation of various contested translation versions. The text of this translation is clearly related to other versions based on Gutzlaff, but is distinct in many ways, all of this textual variation deserving detailed study and research. The book appears to retain its original, simple stitched Chinese-style binding, as issued, there being no sign of its being associated with other parts of a complete New Testament. The leaves and edges are somewhat worn and chipped with damp staining to the covers themselves and a few outer leaves. Nonetheless the text is complete and the impression clear inside, manifesting its interesting ‘transitional’ typography. From the library of the Bristol Baptist College with no stamps and three very small paper labels on the spine and (Chinese) rear cover. Rare.

Beijing, 2004. 415 pp. Colour plates throughout. Chronology. 31x24 cm. Full decorative and gilt imitation leather, all edges gilt. £145.00

Catalogue of a superb exhibition held at the Millennium Art Museum in Beijing in June 2004. The exhibition explored the nomadic culture of Northern China, with a focus on the Mongol culture associated with Genghis Khan. The exhibition benefited from major loans from the Museum of Inner Mongolia plus other little-known museums, with the majority of the exhibits previously unpublished. The exhibits range in date from the Warring States to the Qing with an emphasis on earlier material and much from the Mongol period — Liao, Jin and Yuan. The later material, mostly Qing, shows much to do with nomadic life and religion on the steppes — from costumes to musical instruments, seals and living utensils. There are numerous fine early and distinctive bronzes unearthed from sites in Inner Mongolia, including Ordos material. There is much gold material dating from the Northern Dynasties onwards with some extraordinary Liao material. There are also ceramics, including some highly distinctive and interesting tomb figurines. There are numerous other exhibits in a range of other materials — from stone sculpture to textile and bone. The quality of the objects is extremely fine and many are of great rarity. Introductions and captions in English. Main texts in Chinese. Recommended. Now out-of-print.

398 Hu Zhengyan: SHIZHUZHAI SHUHUA PU. (Painting Album from the Ten Bamboo Studio). 十竹齋書畫譜。胡正言摹古。光緒已卯夏至日校經山房槐廬主人謹識. Beijing 1879. Various paginations of folded leaves, Chinese-style. Colour woodcuts throughout. 8 vols. 27x30 cm. Stitched, cloth case. £6,000.00

The title-page of this Guangxu edition — based on the famous late Ming manual of painting and woodcut printing — indicates that it was issued by the Jiaojing Shanfang. We have handled two editions bearing this this date, both of which are noted in the ‘Sibu Zonglu Yishu Bian’. The Jiaojing Shangang edition is cited in article 210 and the edition of Mr Qiu of Yuanhe in article 837. The highly-regarded Qiu edition is bound ‘butterfly’ style with restrained colour and careful registration. This Jiaojing Shanfang edition is also bound ‘butterfly style’ but has slightly more strident colour, slightly less care with registration and also red seal impressions stamped at the end of the printed inscriptions accompanying the illustrations. (These is also a red stamp with ‘Jiaojing Shanfang’ in regular script on the title page.) The blocks for the two 1879 editions seem to be the same or very close. It seems likely that the Jiaojing Shanfang edition is a slightly later impression issued by a different publisher of the Guangxu blocks. Without more information or serious research on the way such illustrated works were disseminated and published in the late Qing period, it is hard to say more. In any case, both editions are wonderful and rare examples of multiblock colour book illustration of the time. The original edition of ‘Shizhuzhai Shuhua Pu’ — compiled and produced by Hu Zhengyan (zi: Yuecong, 1584-1674) — was one of the earliest painting manuals to be printed in colour and is still considered the epitome of what was then an innovative art. The illustrations are arranged in eight volumes, — Shuhua (exemplars of painting and calligraphy), Mohua (ink flowers), Guopu (fruit manual), Lingmaopu (bird manual), Lanpu (orchid manual), Zhupu (bamboo manual), Meipu (plum manual), Shipu (stones manual). They are Hu’s designs but, in many cases, they are based on works by famous early masters. Flowers and fruit predominate, along with beautiful multiblock prints of birds, orchids, bamboo and ‘strange stones’ (qishi). The illustrations are matched with a text or poem on an adjacent opening.The colour to the illustrations is fresh and vivid. The work retains its original ‘butterfly’ binding which is the same as that of the original Ming edition. This type of binding is rarely seen intact. The folded leaves are held together at the binding fold rather than at the edges as is common in later Chinese binding. This allows illustrations printed across the entire leaf to be fully viewed in each opening. There is some slight foxing to a number of leaves and the occasional spot, mark or small tear here and there, but the illustrations are unaffected and the overall impression is clean. The book is, unusually, with its original cloth-covered thin board case which is in decent condition (one toggle missing) and still bears the title slip. In Chinese.

An interesting work on a publication about which we can find no information, other than that stated in this book. The Jiujing Xingshi Huabao, roughly translated as ‘Illustrated News of the Striking World of the Old Capital’, had a very short life span, being printed in only 60 or so issues in Beijing in 1908/9.

Each illustrated edition (of which 42 are shown here) comprised just a few pages and told various tales, often strange and scandalous, of life in Beijing.

An interesting album of a trip to Inner Mongolia and Peking around 1919. We understand that the photographer was German. The album is unusual in that it ventures well outside the normal venues for photography of the period. It is the first time we have seen an album from this period (indeed any album!) that shows photography presumably taken in Inner Mongolia. The first two-thirds of so of the album illustrates a journey taken by horse and car around towns, villages, scenery and sites that include people in Mongolian dress, camels, yurts etc. We say Inner Mongolia because the scenery is more hilly than Mongolia proper and, towards the end of this section of the album, there are pictures of beacon towers and ruined sections of the Great Wall, followed by pictures of a pass in the Great Wall (possibly Gubeikou) before the album devotes its final third to photographs taken in and around Peking, in particular, a visit to, with much photography of, the Summer Palace. The first photograph in the album is a portrait of a man with the initials W. W. and the date of 1919 in the photograph. He travelled with a couple of male companions who feature in a good number of the images. The journey seemed to be for purposes of sightseeing and exploration. Rifles appear in a couple of photographs. They were presumably carried for purposes of security rather than hunting as there are no pictures of shot animals. The party used horses for most of the Mongolian part of the trip although there are a few photographs of splendid old cars which may have been used at some point — despite the terrain?!.

Buisson, An XII (1804). The atlas volume only to the third French edition cf. Cordier 2385; Morrison II:248. A small number of the plates are repeated from the English edition, but the majority are new with the emphasis on the manners and customs of the Chinese. The three large folding maps with detail show: 1. The route of the Embassy from Britain to China; 2. The route of the Embassy from Jehol to Peking and thence down to Hangzhou; 3.

Beijing, 2004. 7, 2, 624 (over 600 pp. colour plates); 9, 626 pp. (over 600 pp. colour plates) A number of foldouts. 2 vols. 45x33 cm. Cloth. £3,000.00

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 insurance policy against financial distress. 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 detention 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 fragile nature. 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 includes 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 collectors’ seals, colophons and inscriptions. The calligraphies and paintings date from the Eastern Jin to the Qing with the majority of the material being early. Comprises 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 unprecedented reproduction of selected works. A superb record of little-known treasures from the Chinese 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 calligraphy. A large and weighty set of volumes with dual English and Chinese texts. Highly recommended.
