from Keramic Art of Japan 1875
George Ashdown Audsley (1838-1925) was an architect, artist, illustrator and organ designer. He authored lavishly illustrated books on ornament and Japanese art. In 1875 he co-authored with his friend James Lord Bowes (1834-1899), who shared his passion for Japanese art, particularly ceramics, to produce the book. Bowes was an art collector and patron of the arts, who later built the first museum of Japanese art in England in the grounds of his home which he opened to the public.
This stunning first edition of Keramic Art of Japan was recognised as the first and most important book on Japanese art of its time.
The engravings were executed by the Paris firm, Firmin-Didot Frères, Fils, et Cie, a company owned by Firmin Didot (1764-1836), who came from a dynasty of printers, engravers, publishers and type-setters. The company was renowned for their folio-sized editions and sumptuous illustrations created by the most respected artisans of the time.
