According to Björn Löwendahl in his catalogue of the Löwendahl - von der Burg collection, Museum Sinicum “contains the first grammatical account of the Chinese language published in Europe.” Christoph Harbsmeier, Professor of Oriental Studies at the University of Oslo, explains that Bayer’s work “was the beginning of a great tradition of Chinese Linguistics in Russia, a tradition which was to have a very profound influence on modern linguistic developments in the People’s Republic of China [...] Bayer’s introduction to his Museum Sinicum contains a most remarkable document: a detailed history of sinology from its beginnings to 1730.” (#145436)

Wang GAI and Li YU. Jieziyuan Huazhuan. (Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting). Five volumes in four. profusely iIllustrated with black and white and colour woodblock prints. Large 8vo., bound in later wrappers in a Chinese silk-covered box. Suzhou: 1800 $ 12,500.00 The second edition of the second Chinese edition, first printed in 1782. The Mustard Seed Garden Manual, sometimes known as Jieziyuan Huapu is a manual of Chinese painting compiled during the early Ch’ing Dynasty and first printed in one volume in 1679, followed by a second and third in 1701, and a fourth in 1801. The first fascicle deals with the general principles of landscape painting, the second the painting of trees, the third that of hills and stones, the fourth that of people and houses, and the fifth comprises the selected works of great landscape painters. This is the Sanduozhai edition in a reasonably early impression. The work was published more than once in southern China at the end of the 18th century, and woodblocks cut in Nanjing and Suzhou at the time were rented and sold among publishers. Although no one has done definitive research. Some wear to the wrappers, occasional internal staining and title-page with damaged margins protected by tissue. Nevertheless a sound copy of an early edition of this rare and important work. (#133762)
8. Arnold GENTHE. Old Chinatown. With text by Will Irwin. 208 pp. 8vo., 235 x 156 mm, bound in original publisher’s gilt-stamped black cloth. New York: Mitchell Kennerley, 1913. $ 595.00 Second and Best Edition of Arnold Genthe’s photographs of the old Chinatown of San Francisco, with over 70 plates showing daily life in Chinatown. “His work stands on the borderline between reportage and investigation... [In San Francisco] he fell under the spell of Chinatown and began documenting the exotic life and customs he found there. The people he stalked were unaware of a photographer’s presence, for he used a very small hand camera and so obtained pictures straight from life. Inquisitive and fascinated, he overlooked no detail of the architectural setting, no gesture of workmen and shopkeepers, no characteristic attitude” (Jean-Luc Daval, Photography: History of an Art p. 113 with reproduction). An unusually fine copy, with just a hintof wear at the tip and tail of the spine. (#145266)

A massive, imposing Chinese dictionary commissioned by Napoleon in 1809, and an important work in the development of Western scholarship on China. Although given no credit in the book, the dictionary is actually a re-edit of work compiled by the Franciscan friar, Basilio de Glemona Brollo (1648-1704) during his thirty years of missionary work in China in the seventeenth-century. His work was considered among the finest of the Missionary lexicons. Some light marginal waterstains to a few leaves, professionally rebacked with the original spine laid down, still a fine copy.

It was followed by a 1925 edition, considered the best, and this was reprinted in 1933 with some revisions. The 1954 edition is a cheaply printed reprint of this edition. All editions are rare, with OCLC listing only a copy of the 1925 edition at the Nelson Atkins Museum.(#165543)

Charles Kliene was a member of the Chinese Customs Service and compiled this double calendar that notes holidays covering 250 years for official, merchant and missionary use.

Preserved in a new blue cloth folding box. ?? 1936. $1500.00 A superb map of Changchun, which was the capital of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo from 1932 to 1945. Hsinking was a well-planned city with broad avenues and modern public works. Under the Japanese the city underwent rapid expansion in both its economy and infrastructure. Many of buildings built during the Japanese colonial era still stand today, including those of the Eight Major Bureaus of Manchukuo as well as the Headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Although the Morokoshi Meisho Zue was issued with the imprints of at least thirteen different publishers in the cities of Kyoto, Edo, Byo, and Osaka, very few sets seem to have survived. While there is some minor age soiling to the wrappers, and some insignificant worming to a few leaves, the set is internally immaculate and with excellent impressions of the woodcuts.

20. TINGQUA.
Album of 50 Gouache Paintings on Thick Paper of Treaty Ports, the Opium War, Costumes, Ceremonies, Genre-Paintings, Chinese gardens, and Scenes in and around Canton.

Small folio, 315 x 235 mm., interleaved with tissue paper, bound in early twentieth-century English red morocco, intricate gilt-tooled covers and spine, a.e.g., [allegedly by James Burn, bookbinder to Queen Victoria]. Canton, ca 1860. $ 250,000.00 An exceptional album of Chinese export watercolours by the hand of the finest practitioner of the art, Guan Lianchang, known to Westerners by the name “Tingqua.” The watercolours offer a few first-rate examples of traditional Tingqua subject matter. There are three spectacular images of Houqua’s garden; Houqua, (Wu Bingjian 1769-1843), the most powerful of the Hong merchants in the Thirteen Factories, was a leader of the Canton Cohong, and a figure known throughout the Far East. There are several outstanding paintings of Canton and the Whampoa anchorage, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Macao, and Amoy. These panoramic city views are of exceptional documentary and aesthetic value. Particularly remarkable are two views relating to the Second Opium War. Tingqua could not have had first-hand experience of this affair and would have relied on foreign accounts or possibly photographs for his renditions. In between are paintings of Chinese junks; fourteen of flowers, fruits and insects; a Chinese marriage and a bridal procession, Chinese theatrical performers, and two portraits of the Chinese Emperor and his wife. Occasional light fingerstaining and occasional light foxing, but overall in fine, bright condition. PROVENANCE: Alfred Fincham (1810-1862) Englishman who lived in China for fifteen years and died at Hong Kong 1862, album presented in Hong Kong to his wife, Anne Maria in 1861, with presentation inscription. The album was most likely commissioned by Fincham directly from the artist Tingqua. By descent through his family. See: Clunas, Chinese Export Watercolours, pp 81-83.

With 2 large folding maps, one of the Russian empire and a plan of the town of Saint Petersburg. xxiv, 438; [6], 426, [4] pp. misnumbering throughout. 12mo., 162 x 90 mm, bound in full French contemporary speckled calf. Paris: Chez Pissot, 1725. $ 4850.00 First Edition in French. The work first appeared in a German edition in Frankfurt 1721. Friedrich Christian Weber was an ambassador from the Hanovarian court of BrunswickLunebourg at Moscow representing English interests at the time of Czar Peter the Great. In the second volume a large section (pp 89- 144) contains the Journal de Voyage de Laurent Lange à la Chine.” Lange was originally in China with the Ismailov embassy. His problem was to get himself accepted, to cope with official worries about the frontiers, Manchu xenophobia, imperial megalomania, court intrigues. He blundered by making contact with Koreans, thus rousing suspicions about Russian designs, and about their export of articles for use, as against mere chinoiserie (which would conflict with court tribute supplies).” See: Lust.
