From oracle bones to twentieth-century manuscripts, Impressions of the East presents selections from the Library’s rare book collection in their technological and cultural contexts. Embedded in the descriptions of prints, maps, scrolls, and more is the history of the lands where the works originated and the ways in which they influenced each other. Opulently produced and brilliantly designed, the book brings excitement and scholarly insight to the print and manuscript traditions of East Asia.
