博物館陳列品圖鑑 第十六輯 (Museum Exhibits Illustrated - Vol. XVI. Government General Museum of Tyosen. 1942)

京城 [Keijo] (Seoul): 朝鮮總督府博物館 (Korea Satoshitoku Office Museum), 1942. First edition. Softcover. Folio (12 1/2 x 9"). [2] leaves (Text), [12] tissue-guarded leaves (Plates). Original string bound decorative wrappers, with black lettering to front cover.

Although the first half of the 20th century in Korean history is marked by the grave and painful experience of the Japanese occupation between 1910 and 1945, this period also saw the Japanese carrying out the first modern archaeological excavations of ancient Korean sites (royal tombs, temples, ceramic kilns) and preservation of their artifacts. Inaugurated in 1915, the Government General Museum was intended to gather and exhibit some of the best material found during these activities.

Published between 1929 and 1943, the Museum bulletin featured some of the best pieces exhibited within its wall. This 16th volume published in 1942 reproduces in b/w photographic reproductions twelve plates showing artifacts selected from the collections made during the fiscal year 1941 (jars, vases, stone lantern, Buddhist statues, etc..).

Each photo-illustrated plate is facing its captioned tissue-guard made of rice paper.

Some creasing and minor closed tears to spine. Text and captions in Japanese. Wrappers in overall good to good+, interior in very good condition. g to vg. Item #41058

Price: $225.00
