It is a quality exact facsimile reprint of a book compiled and pub…lished in 1762 by the London printer Robert Sayer. It is believed there is only one complete copy of that 1762 printing left in existence, and this facsimile was made from that book. With 1500 illustrations that were widely used at the time as patterns in the production of porcelains and ceramics, furniture, and prints. With 400 pages, but NOTE each page is printed on only one side, so there are 200 numbered pages of pattern illustrations. Most pages contain multiple illustrations. In addition to the illustrations, the book contains instructions for the art of japanning and how to use the illustrations. The book is a thick, heavy oblong and is over 1 foot long, bound in sturdy red cloth-covered boards with bright embossed gilt lettering on the front and the spine, and with a Japanese-themed pictorial in gilt on the front of the book.
