Collection S. Bing. : Objets d'art et peintures du Japon et de la Chine dont la vente aura lieu du lundi 7 au samedi 12 mai 1906 inclus dans les galeries de MM. Durand-Ruel
A 1906 Paris auction catalogue from the collection of Siegfried Bing, the dealer in Japanese and Chinese art, listing objets d'art and paintings for sale at the Durand-Ruel galleries. The plates are sepia photogravure reproductions of carved netsuke-like figures, a flower-patterned screen panel, and a lacquered box with a checkerboard lid. A designer could take from them the fine detail of carved Asian ornament and the tonal range of early photomechanical printing.
