Ten Days in the Mountains. An album by Xiao Yuncong (1596-1673)

Hong Kong: Hanart T Z Gallery, 2002. First edition. Cloth. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. As new.. Unpaged [36 pp]. Illus. 4to. Signed by the author Eric Otto Wear. "In the midst of political turmoil and the collapse of an empire, Xiao Yuncong (1596-1673) sat in a flooded hut and painted ten deceptively simple images." To these Wear has added ten prose poems and drawings. English text on folded card stock, with Chinese translation within (by Chiu Kwong Chiu), tipped-in opposite the illustrations. A beautiful production.
