"Plunder and pleasure" is the first book of its kind to provide an
in-depth study of the role played by dealers and collectors of art
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the Western craze
for East Asian art was at its peak. The book comprises an overview
of Japonisme and the translation into English of two important
French texts detailing the trade in Asian art at this time: "Notes
d'un Bibeloteur au Japon" by the art dealer Philippe Sichel
(1839/40-99) and "Souvenirs d'un vieil Amateur d'Art de
l'Extreme-Orient" by the collector Raymond Koechlin (1860-1931).
Both translations are extensively annotated. A discussion of the
content and significance of the translations as well as short
biographical sketches of Sichel and Koechlin are also included.
"Plunder and Pleasure" casts new light on the subject of Western
tastes for East Asian art during this period and furthers our
understanding of the cultural relations between the Far East and
the West that were going on at this time.
