Never before has such a valuable collection of. Oriental Art Objects been placed before the public. We can safely say that they far excel in rarity and value any Japanese and Chinese col lection offered at auction in this country. Such goods cannot be easily procured in Japan or China; far from it. Mr. James F. Sutton (of Messrs. A. A. Vantine and Company), aided by native connoisseurs, all gentlemen of culture and judgment, have suc ceeded in obtaining these specimens only after arduous labor and at an expense far beyond that realized by the public in general. Such articles as embraced in this sale command their price, either at home or abroad. Mr. Sutton made it a point to secure every article of merit he met with, no matter What the price might be, for had he not, such was the scarcity, especiallyin Japan, the next seeker (in all probability a European agent in search of just such choice specimens as to be found here), would nu doubtedly have been the purchaser. Many gems in this important collection were secured in the far inland towns and villages of the Mikado's empire, beyond the reach of inexperienced travel ers, but of access to the knowing and persevering Sutton, who, notwithstanding great risk and endurance, would visit such places and obtain many treasures that had been hidden from view for perhaps centuries, and in many instances held sacred. You, reader, are to reap the benefit of this gentleman's expe ricuce and labors. May they be fully appreciated.
