China: In Ancient and Modern Maps

Sotheby's Publications by Philip Wilson Publishers Ltd. 1998, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0856674133). Soft cover. Book, English text; Paperback; 22.5 x 28.8 cm; 1.6 Kg; 287 pages with black and white and colour illustrations throughout; Used with signs of wear on the exterior, namely on spine. Edgeworn. Interior as new.; of China is a country with one of the world's earliest civilizations. The ancient Chinese made the world's first maps and in mapping theory and technique, they once led the world. In order to inherit and carry forward Chinese culture, summarize China's ancient mapping techniques and spread Chinese mapping knowledge around the world, the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping and the State Bureau for Museums and Archaeological Data organized a study of Chinese maps and mapping history. China: In Ancient and Modern maps is one of the results of this research programme. The map is a second language of geography. Map making is not only an expression of mankind's geographical knowledge but also a necessary means of broadening geographical visions as well as for utilizing and transforming nature. We cannot but feel proud of the glorious cartographic achievements made by our ancestors. In this sense, China: In Ancient and Modern maps has great significance. The maps contained here are carefully selected from the vast repository of maps in China and accompanied by scientific analyses garnered with painstaking efforts by the authors from voluminous historical records and documents. The book presents convincing evidence about China's important position in the history of world surveying and mapping. Good/No Jacket.

Japanese Cloisonné: History, Technique, and Appreciation

Charles E. Tuttle Company, Rutland, Vermont. 1992, 2nd Edition. (ISBN: 0804816662). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 19 x 26.5 cm; 1.263 Kg; 323 pages illustrated with 158 full colour plates and 171 monochrome photographs.; Used book with minor signs of wear, namely on the dust jacket. The interior is in very good condition.; Cloisonné is an enamelware decoration made with colored glass enamels outlined in fine wares. Primarily used for ornamentation of vases, boxes, and trays, this art originated in ancient Greece, then traveled across the Asian continent to Japan, where it reached the peak of its development in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Interestingly, once this art form reached its zenith in popularity, it fell from grace and was considered by most collectors a curious and intricate aberration of the Japanese sensibility. Today, however, Japanese cloisonné is growing more popular and is a subject of antique research. Nearly a decade has passed since the original publication of Japanese Cloisonné, but the works remains the definite text on the subject. First written because the authors were unable to learn all they wished to know about this art from others sources, this book covers every aspect of this unique craft. Major topics covered in the book include the history and development of the art, and the comment and criticism Japanese cloisonné has drawn both in Japan and the West. The book also contains an extensive Collector's Guide and Appendices dealing with such matters as historical changes in technology, methods of dating, enamelists, marks, and identification. The first fully authoritative guide to one of Japan's finest expressions of traditional craftsmanship, Japanese Cloisonné will prove an invaluable sourcebook for both amateur and professional collector alike.

The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover. The interior is in good condition, except for a sticker glued on the rear of the front cover, signs of a removed stick on the top right corner of the front free endpaper and one page that has a small tear towards the outside text block.; The study of Chinese ceramics has, until now, been severely hampered by lack of archaeological evidence, particularly with regard to dating. There are good representative collections in Western museums, but very few items can be given a precise, or even an approximate, date on firm evidence. Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, random looting of tombs, the source of most early ceramics in Western collections, had been stopped, and the Chinese authorities have carried out many important controlled excavations. A small proportion of the early objects was revealed in “The Genious of China”, an exhibition shown in London and Paris in 1973-74, and carefully prepared articles on the archaeological and art-historical work have been published in Chinese periodicals. However, much of the important evidence still awaits publication. The author of this book had exceptional opportunities to visit provincial museums and art-historical research institutes in China in the years 1972 to 1975. He took notes and photographs of exhibits to which a precise, or reasonably close, date can be given on good evidence. This important material is published here for the first time in the West. The book is arranged in chronological order with the author’s comments beneats each object. Additional material includes a map of China showing major tomb sites and a chronological index. This scholarly work presents an exciting and vital contribution towards establishing the chronology of Chinese ceramics. Good/Fair.
