Hardcover. Condizione: Near fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near fine. First Edition. "Nearly a thousand years ago, a magnificent collection of Buddhist paintings, textiles and manuscripts was walled up in a cave at Dunhuang in western China. Although the cave was rediscovered about 1900, it was not until 1907 that the archaeologist Marc Aurel Stein recognised the significance of these fine images on silk and paper from Tang and Five Dynasties China. Many of the paintings came to the British Museum where conservation has continued for decades. The most striking and important works are illustrated here and range from large banners of paradise scenes to miniature sutra books and sumptuous textiles." Quarto: 208 pp. with over 150 color and 75 black-and-white illustrations. Original red cloth binding, with gilt-stamped titling. A near fine copy in a fresh and bright dust jacket.…
