Description

During China's politically tumultuous 19th century, many of the most exquisite examples of native art from the Ming, Ching and earlier dynasties were spirited out of the country and sold abroad. England's South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum) became one of the major collections of Chinese art outside the Mainland. Here are 50 full-color plates from the 1867 publication Owen Jones rendered from the collections at the V&A.
