Masterpieces in Chinese national art : the collection of Mr. Seaouk'e Yue
A 1916 Shanghai catalogue of Chinese art from the collection of Mr. Seaouk'e Yue, printed by the Commercial Press and compiled by Yu Hsiao-chʻi with Zhang Jizeng, offering photographic plates of ceramics, bronzes, textiles and carved objects for scholars and collectors. The pictures are sepia photographs on plain cream pages, showing objects isolated against blank or cloth backgrounds, with a dragon-patterned textile and a speckled vase whose tonal shapes and lattice motifs a designer could borrow for pattern and form studies.
