This title explores the curiosity and collaboration that has
existed between East and West for centuries. The striking
illustrated books, maps, and prints featured in China on Paper are
some of the most notable among the printed works produced at the
dawn of the era of global trade to present China to Europe and
bring Western science, religion, and art to China. From a Chinese
translation of the rosary to French editions of Confucian classics,
from a monumental map of the world to magnificent engravings of the
European pavilions built by Jesuits at the behest of the Qianlong
emperor - these works on paper reveal a compelling and largely
hidden history of mutual curiosity and fruitful collaboration at a
time when few people travelled far from home.
