About This Item
Shanghai: Shanghai shi huaxue yuanliao gongye tongye gonghui,, [c.1955]. An uncommon early Mao-period sampler issued by the Shanghai Chemical Materials Industrial Guild, presenting the tone and chemical composition of the 19 core pigments used in industries such as publishing and printing. In 1954, as part of a programme of nationwide consolidation, Beijing promulgated production guidelines for the 19 colours and placed the industry under the control of a national-level regulator. This sampler was likely distributed gratis at a trade event. Blank sections at the end provide space for the owner to list commercial contacts and write diary entries. Small octavo. Original illustrated boards, red cloth backstrip, front cover lettered in red, rounded board and page edges, decorative endpapers. With 19 plates. Text in Chinese. Binding worn, contents clean, plates bright. A very good copy.
