Chinese Popular Prints (Handbuch Der Orientalistik. Vierte Abteilung, China, 4. Bd. 11.) John Lust

This text explores Chinese blockprint illustration, which has provided decoration for the wall in urban and rural societies from the 17th to the early 20th centuries. The early chapters deal with its origins, its traditions and its history. The workshop and its techniques, figure drawing and colouring are also dealt with. A section of reproductions is included.
