As well as being the author of this album of fine portraits of China's 'paragons of culture' produced in 1743, Shangguan Zhou (1665-c.1750) was known as a landscape painter and calligrapher. This is a fine Republican lithographic reprint, done by the famous Sheyuan studio, of the original work published in the Qian Long reign. New covers and stitching. The good-sized full page images of famous scholars, poets and other cultural figures exhibit fine detail and are most pleasing. The first 25 folded leaves have a waterstain to the top of the page that does not affect the printed text and images, and which decreases in intensity as one proceeds. Priced accordingly. In Chinese. Rarely-seen.
