25 Asian Prints in Folder 1978 (All Portraits, Nine in Color)

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Asia, Unknown : 1978

Seller ID: 0687

Condition: Very Good

I have had these prints for years, but never listed them because the title is in Asian characters. I can't recall where I even got them, but they are quite handsome. There are supposed to be 16 black and white numbered prints, all portraits drawn with pencil, inside the folder and all are present. But here's the nice surprise -- nine other numbered prints in full color appear to have hitchhiked along. These apparently were at least a set of 10, but one is missing. Nine nice freebies aren't bad though! :-) The folder measures 7-1/2"x10-1/2" and is very clean, though toned. A previous owner also...

Condition: Fine condition for all

I just found this array of fun things in a travel collection I bought a couple years ago. Everything was in the envelope with the restaurant advertising. The envelope, the card, and business card came from the China Quanjude Group which introduced the roast duck seen in the photo in 1864, during the third year of Tongzhi, Quing Dynasty. There's also a Boarding Card from the China International Travel Service, a small advertising card which lists the Chinese Dyanasties and the items which can be bought at the store, and lastly, two very attractive Chinese characters on beautiful paper. . . ....

If you appreciate Japanese art this is a particularly interesting catalog, as it shows creative "waves" which changed Japanese calligraphy. This went on for a long period of time to reach the Avant Garde Calligraphy Movement in Japan which shares a relationship between the Avant Garde and Western Abstract Art.

Publisher: Nichiku Osaka, Japan and Kyoto, Warajiya Co. LTD and large Booklet by Kyoto government : No date stated

Seller ID: 4299

Binding: Card cover

There is no date on this item, but I think it's probable that it was part of the wave of Japanese travel items after WWII. This is a giant map which measures 21" x 29" open and folds down to 3-3/4" x 10-1/2". The art inside is charming and offers much information about Kyoto and how to explore it. I did repair a few small tears along the map creases with archival tape which is practically unable to be seen. There is also a crease on one panel that I was able to flatten with an iron. The text is in ENGLISH. I just added this large booklet because they make a handsome pair. This one has large ...

Oriental Art Catalog August 27, 88, 1970 Robert C. Eldred Co., Inc.

Price: $20.00

Publisher: East Dennis, Massachsuetts, Robert C. Eldred Co., Inc. : 1970

Seller ID: 3648

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very good condition

Catalog is clean and bright with no tears and no writing, and is tightly bound. The only fault is a trim to the yapped edge at side edge of front cover. This is often done because the overhang develops small tears which end up with pieces of the edge falling off. This trim was better than most. The catalog measures 7" x 10-1/2" and has black and white photographs which show both Chinese and Japanese items. Most of the works came from the estate of Andrew R. Dole of Oak Park, Illinois. Session I focused on Japanese art. Among the items were prints and paintings, snuff bottles, rugs, wood carvi...
