Comments:Jones 1990Woodblock print of Chinese 17th-century collectionsThe jades, bronzes and ceramics placed on the table in this might have been part of a scholar’s collection. On the right of the print is shown the neck and two tubes of an arrow-vase, but the main part of the body of the vase is missing. This print illustrates the depth of interest in collecting during the seventeenth century and may have served to attract aspiring collectors. The idea of representing groups of antiquities and other collectors’ items in prints dates back to the first half of seventeenth century, when such arrangements of objects are found on decorated colour-printed letter-papers which were produced as books for the collector’s shelf.See also registration no. 1906,1128.22.YPL 29 Oct 2019Previously dated 17thC1928,0323,0.12-42 dating all changed to ca. 1690-1720 based on advice from Anne Farrer
