WANJHP Wang Gai et al: JIEZIYUAN HUAPU DAQUAN: CHU JI. (The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting: Part 1). 芥子園畫傳大初集 。 王概 等 。 共和書局 石印. Shanghai, 1914. 4 ce. Various paginations of folded leaves. B/w lithographic reproductions of woodcuts throughout all 4 volumes. 4 vols. 20x13 cm. Paper. Cloth case. GBP 130.00 A popular, small-format, but very well-produced, lithographic edition of Part One ONLY of the well-known Mustard Seed Garden painting manual. The bibliographic history of the 'Jieziyuan Huazhuan' is highly complex. The first edition of the first collection is dated 1679 (as is the preface here) but there are many differing theories concerning extant copies and editions. As the manual was so popular, it was much reproduced in varying qualities and formats. The good woodblock editions have very fine multiblock, multicolour printing. This monochrome black-and-white lithographic edition was published by Gonghe Shuju, a little-known publisher in Shanghai in the early 20th century. All text in Chinese. Some wear, slight tears, and creasing to a couple of covers. Generally fine within. Original cloth case with slight wear and chipping to title slips.
