Item description from seller

1 volume (of 2). 42 woodblock prints on 41 bifolia, 38 of which being colour plates. Loose in a decorative cloth-bound portfolio. Folio (225 x 315 mm).

The set consists of stationery designed by some of the most famous Chinese artists of the time, depicting various themes, including flowers, landscapes and portraits. All designs were carefully chosen from Rongbao Zhai’s extensive archive, accumulated over 300 years. - Produced by traditional Chinese colour printing methods - Dou Ban and Gong Hua - which ware capable of faithfully reproducing the vigour of the brush strokes, arguably the essence of Chinese paintings.

Gong Hua is the use of an uninked, imprinted block to emboss designs onto papers, allowing highlights on water or plants that are otherwise impossible to create with other woodblock printing methods. - Some edge flaws, fraying and wrinkling; occasional dust-staining to margins. Traces of original block-stitching in open margin. Preserving many of the original tissue guards. One of the bone cover latches broken.…
