A selection of important foundational works informing the study and collection of Chinese art in the early 20th century from the personal library of famed art dealer, collector, and connoisseur C.T. Loo: including early catalogues from the seminal exhibitions at Burlington House in London, and a number of works by R.L. Hobson, keeper of ceramics at the British museum, and many of Loo's personal copies from his own exhibitions. In addition to Loo, many of these works bear the names and notes from other contemporaries such as Langdon Warner, Charles Bain Hoyt, and Arthur Rothwell: figures foundational to shaping the field, and whose collections and tastes have now spread throughout the world's most renowned public and private collections.
