Hochstrasser, Monique
The Art of the Regent
102 pages. A sumptuously presented selection of the art collection displayed in The Regent in Hong Kong. This is a collection carefully acquired not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for the elements of oriental symbolism that are represented. Includes fine examples of skilfully executed screens, lacquerware and embroidery. There are specimens of Chinese export wallpaper, and several nineteenth-century China Trade oil paintings. These became popular as artistic records of the cultural and trading contacts of their period and are now collector's items. The selection of maps traces the pattern of adventure and romantic trade and travel over the centuries. Finally, a group of contemporary works pleasantly relate the collection to modern artistic trends. All illustrations in vivid colour photography. Attractive maroon cloth boards bear imprint of Chinese characters upon front board and gilt roman lettering upon spine. Illustrated slipcase shows light edgewear and several nicks. Book and slipcase bear the aroma of moth balls. Book

Weatherstone, John
The Pioneers, 1825-1900 : The Early British Tea and Coffee Planters and Their Way of Life
224 pages including index. One hundred and fifty years ago the British planter arriving in India or Ceylon could hardly expect a bungalow, a deep freeze, a television - let alone an orderly estate of tea bushes. The scene would rather be the dense tropical jungle, disease-carrying insects, and prowling beasts of prey. He would work and live alone, and bivouac for months on end under tropical rains with but the scantiest of provisions. That is why this book is entitled The Pioneers. Author, who was a planter in Ceylon, has done much research covering the pre 1900 period, putting together a description in words and pictures of how these pioneers lived. Amazingly, although a few books of personal reminiscences by planters have been published in the distant past, Weatherstone's achievement has never before been attempted.... To anyone who has lived in India, Ceylon, Imperial China - or indeed any tea producing country - this work will have a strong nostalgic appeal. To those in the tea and coffee trades - even to the keener drinkers - it is an education, an exciting view into a near-forgotten world. But to the thinning ranks of retired planters, it is simply a must." - from dust jacket. Nearly 350 illustrations in colour and black and white. Book clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear and minor lean to spine. Glossy green illustrated dust jacket remains attractive with very light wear and no tears. Excellent copy. Book

The author writes with a sense of urgency in the belief that complacency and lack of wide-spread appreciation as to Communist technique are still handicapping the West in meeting the threat of International Communism both at home and abroad." - from front flap.
