PAINTINGS OF THE CHINA TRADE
Creative Direction, Book Design, Print Production
Ranked as one of the most important collections of China Trade paintings, “The Sze Yuan Tang Collection of Historic Paintings” places the rich imagery of the period in context with the culture and history. Designing this coffee table book with its 177 reproductions depicting China, Hong Kong and Macau created by masters William Alexander, George Chinnery and Lamqua was a gift as much as it was a treasured and involved project. Along Patrick Connor's writing, our design is recognized as far more than a beautiful presentation piece; Paintings of the China Trade is a resource into the trade that drove the world into the modern era.
