拍品描述
Description Peking Studies, Rare First Edition. Limited 1934. Shanghai, Kelly & Walsh, Sketches by F H Schiff. Full Page Colour Pictorial Map. Original linen binding & red ribbon. The book is produced in the Art Deco style with black & white photographs, black & white and bi-colour sketches. Depicts aspects of 1930s Peking and its inhabitants, through the imagined characters of Mr Wu, a small stout Chinese gentleman, and Mr Pim, a lanky European visitor. Humorously portrayed by illustrator Freidrich Schiff. This is a rare book that captures cosmopolitan China between the wars. Condition: The book itself is in very good condition & the binding is tight, some shelf-wear on the corners. Cloth covered board, there is no dust wrapper. Damp stains on blank front pages & minor on front cover. Note: The sketches are by the renowned illustrator Freidrich Schiff who was a Jewish refugee and lived in Shanghai in the 1930s. Ellen Catleen was the wife of the Dutch ambassador to China in the 1930s. Schiff perfectly compliment the reproductions of the beautiful gravure images of Peking originally taken with a Rolliflex camera. 38 x 27 cm | 15 x 10.5 inches,
