Chester Dale Carter took advantage of the depressed Japanese market to buy
superb early Chinese bronzes which were not available to fellow western
collectors in New York or Europe. Most of the collection was later sold to
the Art Museum of Princeton University, which sponsored this scholarly,
well-illustrated catalog.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9.5”x12.5”, 250 pages, black & white
illustrations, dust jacket.

CONDITION NOTES: Minor wear, jacket a bit worn and rubbed, "RCN" written
in pen on the endpaper, but otherwise clean and nice, with a tight
binding.

PRICE: $85.00
