The book comprised eight categories (8 vols, 16 parts): birds, plums, orchids, bamboos, fruit, stones, ink drawings (round fans) and miscellany. The leaves are printed on one side only; they were folded in half and glued together along the outer fold, and each image was followed by an accompanying text, in most cases a poem. This example has been taken out of its original binding. 5/6 (III), 18; seal: Wên chungP.17-19551accession numberP.17-1955223167priref223167urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/223167https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/223167referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam Museumreferenceagent-149875adlib-agent-14987589f52d0e-b912-3dc9-8b2c-61d6aa011b16Clarke, Louis Colville Gray195519551955given1633CE1633circa1633referenceterm-106447adlib-term-106447c24dda6b-b738-3a7d-bddf-648ede5b5cd417th Century#referenceterm-98032adlib-term-9803282c0807b-e8e4-3d5c-ac68-1a6390880feaprinthistory noteSotheby's 3 March 1955, part of lot 28 (probably from the collection of Prince Vladimir Galitzine)referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam Museumreferenceterm-8815adlib-term-8815d3abddec-eb50-3239-8d87-7fe37b5dee27Chinesereferenceterm-98032adlib-term-9803282c0807b-e8e4-3d5c-ac68-1a6390880feaprintprintreferenceterm-28409adlib-term-28409f5dab660-82c8-393c-b8ef-88f7d74ff668colour printingreferenceterm-29158adlib-term-291580a707cc2-e3a2-373e-895e-3ac50510e219woodcutassignedPage from Ten Bamboo Studio - Bamboos and chrysanthemumsseriesTen Bamboo Studio Collection of Callilgraphy and Paintingobject
