A Costly Book on Ceramic Art

The first part of a remarkable book on
Oriental cermaic art has just appeared in
Baltimore. The publication is the result
of seventeen years of labor, and, it is said,
is one of the most costly and superb books
ever printed In any country. Only 500 copies
of it will be issued, and the estimated cost
of the publication is half a million dollars.
The plan of the book is to give history,
complete and exhaustive, of the ceramic
art in the Far East and to illustrate this
lavishly by examples drawn wholly from
the collection of the late William T. Wal
ters of Baltimore. He spent forty years in
collecting specimens of Oriental potters
art and his collection numbers more than
1000. 1t is considered to be more typical of
every variety of make of the porcelains of
China Corea and Japan than any other col
lection in the world.
The book when it is completed will be in
ten parts. DIR. Bushels letter press con-
sists Of twenty-eight chapters. William M.
Laffan of New York contributes notes and
an introduction. There are 4S7 pictures in
black and white half-tone engraving, and
116 full page colored plates Four artists
worked for seven years in Mr.. Walters
home drawing and coloring the plates.
Some of the reproductions of the book re-
quired fifty lithograph stones. on which
photographers worked for eight years
