THE GREAT STATUARY OF CHINA by SEGALEN
THE GREAT STATUARY OF CHINA by SEGALEN, Victor. Chicago [1978] , Univ. Chicago. Buff cl., v.good, dj., 192p., index, 59 b.w. plates, 22 b.w illus. Edited by Mme. A. Joly- Segalen. Afterword by Vadime Elisseeff. Based on his three trips to China in 1909, 1914 and 1917, this work recounts his extraordinary treck to the inacces- sible monuments of Chinese stone sculpture. This work lay unpublished for more than 50 years, and is timeless as a classic fundamental study. Excellent coverage of the archae- logical and architectural past, from the Han to the 20th centuries. Embellished with drawings by the author plus 59 photos he took at the sights. Useful reference & guide book.
