Add to basketHardbound. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. With early Western focus on the arts of China, Japan and India, three of the smaller cultures of Asia, each with rich and distinctive traditions of their own, tended to have been neglected. This classic art history, each section authored by a renowned a…uthority in his field, addressed this void admirably. Still a valuable starting point for the study of each of the three cultures addressed, this volume well deserves space in all libraries focused on Asian art history. DJ worn and chipped, now protected in Mylar. EP's tanned and some light tanning around edges of interior pages, which are otherwise clean and unmarked. 277 pp., 70 col. plates tipped in, 57 b&w figs and line drawings, 5 maps Size: 23 x 18 cm.
