Description:
Spring Books, Middlesex, 1967 Book. Good. Hardcover. English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 25.7 x 19 cm; 0.600 Kg; 152 pages with black-and-white illustrations; Used book with signs of wear, namely some yellowing on the outside text block and on the front and rear free endpaper. Minor signs of wear in the interior. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; Chinese fine arts found a "sellers market" in eighteenth-century Europe. Fashionable caprice demanded that the great houses of the day should boast, if not a Chinese Room, then at least a collection of Chinese porcelains, lacquer goods, ivories, silks, and wall papers. This fascinating book gives a detailed and very well documented account of the China trade, in which Britain and the merchants of her East India Company eclipsed all other European nations. The authors, both expert authorities on antiques and ceramics, discuss changing European tastes in Chinese goods and show how the Chinese production of goods especially… Read More

Perhaps, it may not even be possible to think about Portuguese history without including the ocean and the Orient. The Porcelain Route exhibition, which the Fundacao Oriente is proud to display and is only possible due to the pieces kindly lent by institutions and collectors, bears witness to the Portuguese presence in the Orient and expresses praise of the oceans that made possible Portugal's dialogue with the world." excerpt from the presentation by Carlos Augusto Pulido Valente… Read More

The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover. Very good copy overall.; Over the last century, North Sumatra has been the site of one of the more intensive and successful pursuits of foreign agricultural enterprise in the Third World and of overt, sometimes violent, confrontation between capital and labor. This fascinating ethnographic history by Ann Laura Stoler analyses how popular resistance actively molded both the form of this colonial expansion and the social, economic, and political experience of the Javanese labouring communities on Sumatra's plantation borders. Stoler considers the nature and intensity of labor protest at critical moments of the estate industry's development: from the early pioneering years to the… Read More

The dust jacket is now protected with a permanent clearcover.; "When some twenty years ago at the instance of my dear friend Mr S.C. Hall, I began my series of papers in the Art Journal upon the various famous earthenware and porcelain works of the kingdom, but little had been done in that direction, and the information I got together from time to time had to be produced from original sources, by prolonged visits to the places themselves and by numberless applications to all sorts of people from whom even scraps of reliable matter coould be obtained. Books on the subject were not many, and the information they contained on English Ceramics was meagre in the extreme. Since then numerous workers have sprung up, and their published volumes - many of them sumptuous and truly valuable works - attest strongly to the interests and pains… Read More
