PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A marvelous study of the court of T'ang Dynasty China, and the many splendid works of art that were given in tribute. Not just a catalog, the author draws the reader into the history of China with anecdotes, evocative descriptions and stories of court life. First published in 1963, it's a classic, scholarly overview that suffers only from its lack of color illustrations.
