拍品专文

A superb example of the work of one of the leading Nanga artists depicting a series of majestic landscapes almost overwhelming the small human figures that inhabit them.

This is almost certainly a complete first edition published in 1816. Another edition described as complete by Kenji Toda in the Descriptive Catalogue of Japanese and Chinese Illustrated Books in the Ryerson Library of the Art Institute of Chicago (page 421) has no colophon and only 29 pages of illustration compared with 33 in this edition.

For a fully illustrated copy in the collection of the British Museum, museum number 1979,0305,0.253, go to www.britishmuseum.org/research
