Lot Description

[CHINESE WOODBLOCK PRINT] Beijing Rong Bao Zhai Xin Ji Shi Jian Pu. Beijing: Rong Bao Zhai, 1955.
1955年版《北京榮寶齋新記詩箋譜》木版水印一函兩冊

Two thread binding volumes in one blue brocade case; the title slips of the case and both volumes are by Qi Baishi. Together 80 prints.

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Rong Bao Zhai was renamed Rong Bao Zhai Xin Ji (“The New Rong Bao Zhai”). In March 1951, Rong Bao Zhai Xin Ji issued the Beijing Rong Bao Zhai Xin Ji Poetry Letter Paper in one case of two volumes. The set includes 200 works, comprising designs by celebrated artists such as Qi Baishi, Tang Dingzhi, Zhang Daqian, Li Hechou, Wu Daiqiu, Chen Shizeng, Jin Gongbei, Pu Ru, and Chen Banding, along with various examples of antique letter papers. The 1955 edition includes fewer examples than the 1951 version, containing only eighty plates. Printed on fine white paper, it is distinguished by its refined and elegant presentation.

題簽:北京榮寶齋新記詩箋譜。九十一嵗白石老人題。
