Catalogue of the magnificent and unique collection of Japanese art objects : acquired by the late Mr. Bowes, author of several well-known works on Japanese Keramics, Enamels, etc., who devoted the best years of his life to the study of Japanese Art in its varied branches tracing its progress from the earliest and crude forms to the brilliant and almost perfect attainments of the 17th, 18th and early part of the 19th centuries. The Collection illustrates in a series of choice examples the object Mr. Bowes had in view; and from the peculiar opportunities afforded him through his official position, placing him at once in touch with the leading native nobility, connoisseurs, and collectors of the day, he was enabled to secure such specimens as were most desirable, either from their historical attachment or from their undoubted authenticity..
