Binyon, Laurence. Asiatic Art in the British Museum (Sculpture and Painting). Paris; G. van Oest:1925. One of the more remarkable museum catalogs ever written, made so by the extremely frank introduction by Laurence Binyon, Curator of Oriental Prints and Paintings at the British Museum, who describes in great detail the deficiencies of the collection and the reasons for them. Gaps certainly existed at the time, but this catalog illustrates and describes a fine selection of paintings from China, Japan, Persia and India, and sculpture from China and India. 11"x14", 74 pages of text plus 64 b&w plates; light soil. $150.00
