Prints

We have a large stock of high-quality prints of China and East Asia. These span,  the history of printing from woodblock prints, copper engravings and etchings to mezzotints, aquatints and lithographs.

Before photography became popular  in the mid 19th  century, prints were not only a means of producing reproductions of images from an earlier era, but also an art form in their own right. Master printers created prints with great originality and unique qualities associated with each printmaking process.
