Bo gu tu : san shi juan
Bo gu tu is a Chinese illustrated catalogue of ancient bronze vessels, compiled and printed in 1752 by Yi zheng tang, drawing on earlier antiquarian works by Wang Fu and Zhu Derun for scholars and collectors. The woodblock pages show single vessels in outline with their decorative bands, handles and feet, offering a designer clear, uncluttered vessel silhouettes and repeating scroll and animal-mask ornament to adapt.
