| Summary: | In China the tradition of a book society is longer than anywhere else in the world. Chinese paper making, calligraphy and woodblock printing date from very early ages, but have for a very long time remained almost unknown to the Western world.

This fine selection reflects the width and depth of this extremely important and immense Chinese heritage. |
