JONES (OWEN)
Footnotes
"The late wars in China, and the Ti-ping rebellion, by the destruction and sacking of many public buildings, [which] has caused the introduction to Europe of a great number of truly magnificent works of Ornamental Art" (Preface), allowing Jones to present this series of 100 chromolithographed examples of Chinese design, the author noting that "the scheme of colouring of the Chinese is peculiarly their own".
Provenance: "W. Moore, Portsmouth, Ohio", stamp in blank upper margin of title. Presumably William Moore (1815-1902), grandfather of the poet Marianne Moore; Free Public Library, Ohio, small blindstamp on title.
