LIMITED EDITION OF 1500 COPIES. UNNUMBERED SET.; The Topkapi Saray Museum collection of Chinese Ceramics is one of the largest and most important in the whole world yet comparatively little of it has ever been published. The wares assembled here present a continuous review of porcelains made for export from the 13th century to the 19th century which in its range of styles and designs is without equal in any other surviving collection. With some 4500 pieces dating from the Yuan and Ming dynasties and a further 5500 from the Qing the present three-volume work covering the entire collection constitutes the most extensively illustrated book on Chinese ceramics yet published and provides an unrivaled source for dating and the study of design. The main part of the work consists of a complete and definitive catalogue in which every piece is itemised. Each entry is accompanied by one or more monochrome illustrations scaled in size according to importance and many are also shown in colour. The work contains 5000 illustrations in all of which 200 are large-size colour plates. The volumes divide the catalogue into three major sections "Celadon Wares" "Yuan and Ming Porcelains" and "Qing Porcelains". These sections and their sub-divisions are arranged chronologically and are prefaced by extensive introductions by Regina Krahl and John Ayers. Virtually all the celadon wares are products of the famous Longquan kilns and the majority date from the 14th and 15th centuries; numbering in all some 1350 pieces they comprise the most extensive body of such material in existence. In blue-and-white and white wares of the 14th and early 15th centuries too which are widely regarded as the finest products of the Yuan and early Ming the group of 125 pieces has no rival in size or quality while the representation of later Ming export blue-and-white is rich in the extreme; the polychrome and monochrome classes of Ming ware also including some notable rarities. As for the Qing wares of all categories these two comprise a uniquely extensive range of designs still virtually unpublished and of great value to students of Chinese porcelain. The first volume is introduced by a series of essays surveying the background to the collection and various aspects of the ceramics themselves. Dr. Unsal Yucel and Dr. Julian Raby throw new light on how porcelains both entered and left the palace in what quantities and at what dates; Dr. Raby also contributes a penetrating examination of the nature of Ottoman taste in this field showing how porcelain was regarded at the Court and for what purposes and on what occasions it was used. Further important articles examine in detail the use of Chinese and Arabic marks on the porcelains. A full working bibliography a concordance and a thorough index complete the work.

1941ref. 92796New York: Reynal & Hitchcock 1941. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. illustrations some in color and all by Poncins xi 339p. plus 32 unnumbered pages of black and white photos with captions and some text beneath each photo. Original cloth backed in red leather. Clear plastic acetate jacket and red card slipcase with a title label on the front panel. 22 cm. The jacket has modest damage at base of backstrip and some general wrinkling. The slipcase is sound with modest soiling and wear including a small heart-shaped waterspot on the back panel. The book is fresh and clean and even has the original unfaded and only minimally worn red ribbon marker. Copy No. 90 of the limited edition of 550 copies. The book is an account of Poncins' thoughts and experiences during 15 months in 1938-1939 spent in the Canadian Arctic mostly among Inuit people living near King William Land in what is now known as Nunavut. A printed slip laid in the book explains that the book is not signed because Poncins having ". joined the colors of his country France disappeared in the debacle of the French Republic following the fall of Paris." The slip promised that "in the event of his survival and return to the United States arrangements will be made upon request to his publishers . for him to sign this numbered copy of KABLOONA." In fact Poncins had survived and this copy and an unknown but apparently modest number of other copies of the limited edition were signed by Poncins. The signature on the limitation page is by "Eskimo Mike" de Poncins -- Mike being the name by which he was known among the Inuit. All in all a wonderful copy of an important book about the Canadian Arctic and the Inuit people. Reynal & Hitchcock hardcover books

1941ref. 95094New York: Reynal Hitchcock Inc 1941. First limited edition of French adventurer Gontran de Poncins' classic account of his solo unsupported journey in the Canadian Arctic. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco over cloth covered boards with gilt titles and tooling to the spine. One on only 550 copies this is number 81. Boldly signed by the author on the front free endpaper "Before I disappear for good!.I remain your friend 'Eskimo Miki' de Poncins." With the original Publisher's Note laid in which explains "The Vicomte Gontran de Poncins author of KABLOONA called out of the Arctic to join the colors of his country disappeared in the debacle of the French Republic following the fall of Paris. It has therefore been impossible to obtain his signature for this limited edition." Poncins did in fact survive and this is one of the scarce copies that he signed. Written in collaboration with Lewis Galantiere Gontran de Poncins' Kabloona recounts the French aristocrat's solo unsupported journey in the Canadian Arctic where he lived with the Inuit for nearly 15 months between 1938 and 1939. Bored with the business world curiosity drew de Poncins to exotic areas throughout the world; his unique technique in relaying his observations of the cultures he discovered was not scientific but provided stylized personal points of view and descriptions. Initially describing the Inuit way of life as primitive and inferior de Poncins soon experienced a deep spiritual awakening after undergoing weeks of hardship in the Arctic and became so well-adapted to the lifestyle he was essentially adopted by the Inuit.
