About this Item
English text; Paperback; 14.5 x 21 cm; 0.3 kg; 127 pages with black and illustrations.; Used book with signs of wear. Overall in good condition.; Catalogue from the exhibition held at The British Museum from January 21 to March 5 1972. "The King of Sweden, a scholar and historian, has collected for over sixty years the objects which express the enduring and richly varied personality of China. His Majesty's long and continuing patronage of scholarship and the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities has made Stockholm for several decades the centre of Chinese studies in Europe. His close ties with this country both in his private life as scholar are equally well-known. It is therefore especially gratifying that he has now granted the British Museum the privilege of exhibiting in the newly remodeled Oriental Gallery II 200 pieces from the 2,600 in his collection. They have been carefully chosen to show the development of Chinese art from about 1,000 BC to the 18 century AD and include masterpieces in bronze, pottery and porcelain, jade, lacquer, ivory, silver, bamboo and rhinoceros horn." excerpt from the foreword by Doulgas Barrett.
