Description:
Faber & Faber, 1962 4to (25.5 cm), front., 177 pp, 104 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly rubbed at extremities, few pencil marks in the text). "This is an account of the bronzes of Ancient China from the earliest time to the Han Dynasty, and especially of the ritual bronze vessels which are the most important examples of the earliest phases of Chinese art. The introduction discusses the stylistic development and the dating of the bronzes, and gives a brief account of recent scholarship on this subject and of discoveries in China since 1950. The illustrations, of which there are more than 150, show a number of pieces recently excavated, but the majority of the material comes from private and public collections in Great Britain."
