Chinese Engraving c1800 Hand Colored Plate Titled "A Barber" from Costumes De factory La Chine by G.H. Mason

"A Barber" Hand Colored Stipple Engraved Plate from the book Costumes de la Chine or Costumes of China by G.H. Mason c1800. This fine antique book plate has the name and detailed information text page in English and French. This is from original artwork of Pu Qua factory, a famous Chinese artist during the late 18th century. G.H. Mason gathered works of Chinese laborers from artists working for Pu Qua. William Miller Old Bond Street London published this particular piece among 60 plates in the book.
Please refer to the text for a description of the illustration.

Dimensions: 14 1/4" Ht. x 10" W. This piece is one of 40 that I acquired. The binding was removed prior. Please notice the binding sides of the pages in my photos. Also, the impression of the art has transferred to the text page over time. I have included a photo of the Title page, however, this page is not included in the purchase. There are slight marks from age.

This is a wonderful collectible art piece that can be purchased to mat and frame for your home or office. Perfect art for an Barber shop! Please let me know if you are interested in other engravings from the book. Several of these would be beautiful framed and hung together in your home.

Please see my photos and don't hesitate to ask me any questions.
