Jouy, Pierre L · 1888 · New York : E. Greey · 5 pictures

A hand-book of a private collection of ancient and modern Korean and Chinese art, compiled by Pierre L. Jouy and published in New York by E. Greey in 1888 for collectors and exhibition visitors. Its pictures are small black-and-white line engravings: a crowded shop interior with hanging lanterns and Buddhist figures, plus cast bronze Buddhas and a labelled stringed instrument drawn front and back, giving designers clear examples of dense object arrangement and precise technical drawing.
