"In December 1989 the Schilling collection of nineteenth-century Japanese photography was acquired by the Dutch bookstore Ukiyo-e Books in Leiden from Lempertz Auction house in Cologne, Germany. When I initially viewed these works with the owners, we were all struck by their exceptional quality, both in the pristine condition and in the diverse imagery. Almost immediately the idea of a publication was born. During my survey of the existing literature in Western language sources dealing with Japanese tourist photography of the late nineteenth century, I was convinced of the need to devote time on what appeared to be a relatively undocumented area. Earlier writers had concentrated only on well-known Western photographers, Felice Beato and Baron von Stillfried, who worked in Japan a number of years. Little attention was paid to the indigenous industry of tourist photography which flourished from c. 1880. It has only been in the last decade that serious interest in the field increased among Japanese scholars. In this book it has been my aim to integrate both Japanese and Western sources and to address some of the relevant questions which have been left unanswered in Western literature. My own training as an anthropologist explains the emphasis of the text on the socio-cultural meaning of the Schilling photographs, although their artistic and historic value no doubt warrants further in depth treatment by art historians and historians alike. Following a brief introduction concerning the provenance of the Schilling collection, I have attempted to outline the cultural and historical setting within which Japanese photography developed in the second half of the nineteenth century. Then I focus upon photography as a technique and as a profession; a description of the early days of photography in Japan serves as an introduction to various aspects of Japanese souvenir photography, the latter being particularly germane to the collection presented in this publication." excerpt from the foreword by Margarita Winkel Leiden, June 1991.…

Interior as new.; "This survey of the Chinese stuff bottles in the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) consists of an introductory essay followed by an illustrated catalogue of the collection." excerpt from the preface.; "The snuff bottle collection of the V&A consists of 460 bottles: 199 mineral, 176 glass, 70 porcelain and 15 bottles of other materials. Only 37 bottles, well under 10% of the total, were acquired after the end of the Qing dynasty in 1911, and 275 were definitely at South Kensington by 1895. This partly explains the fact that there are only three Qing dynasty inside-painted bottles in the collection; one unusual early example was acquired in 1880, and two of the more standard sort in 1908. This paucity suggests that there were few inside-painted bottles in circulation before about 1890." excerpt from the introduction.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 25 x 31.5 cm, 1.860 Kg; 256 pages with 298 colour and black and white plates, maps and drawings, bibliography and index. Foreword by Dr. Christian J.A. Jorg, Groninger Museum.; Used with signs of wear on the dust jacket, that shows scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. The front cover has two small tears at the top and bottom left side, and also a bigger tear on the right side. There is also a small tear at the top left side of the back cover. The interior is in very good condition with minor signs of wear. The dust jacket is protected with a clearcover.; When two captured portuguese merchantmen were brought to The Netherlands in the early seventeenth century, their cargoes of Chinese porcelain were enthusiastically received by the Dutch. These plates, dishes and bowls, decorated in blue and white ground, were named 'Kraak Porcelain', a name which has long since been associated with a particular type of Chinese export porcelain, not only by the Dutch but also by other countries. Despite the enduring and widespread appeal of Oriental ceramics in The Netherlands and elsewhere, no scholar has yet concentrated exclusively on the topic of Kraak porcelain, with the result that this book represents the first comprehensive monograph available on the subject. Maura Rinaldi's exhaustive study of Kraak porcelain, the culmination of more than five years of research and a world-wide search for pieces, goes much further than most monographs on ceramics by including all relevant material to the study of Kraak porcelain. The four sections of the book, dealing with the historical background, development of the ceramic industry and trade, the numerous categories and classifications of Kraak and its imitations, are all extensively illustrated. Kraak Porcelain will prove to be an invaluable reference book for collectors, scholars, and students, as well as general readers with a keen interest in Oriental ceramics.…
