Introduction
This volume is from 1908.
A short summary of the book's Preface:
If there is one regret that accompanies the issue
of these " Chats on Oriental China " it is that the
illustrations could not be given in all the beauty
of their magnificent colouring. In a photograph,
however fine it may be, it is obvious that only the
shape and the decoration can be given. Roughly
speaking, the illustrations represent in its Ming and
Kang-he specimens about 100,000 in value. The
pieces represented are the most admirable and the
rarest. The reader is advised to bestow much atten-
tion on the reading of the descriptions accompanying
each picture. There is no form of instruction more
valuable than this analysis, which forms the basis of
the sale catalogues of the most recherche collections.
