Emblems of Empire: Selections from the Mactaggart Art Collection
John E. Vollmer
In this sumptuous volume, John Vollmer and Jacqueline Simcox showcase
72 objects focused on the emperors of China from the Mactaggart Art
Collection at the University of Alberta Museums, one of the foremost
collections of Chinese paintings and textiles in the world. Full-color
images and informative text introduce both the works from the
collection and how they served as emblems of imperial order and
powerduring the Ming and Qing dynasties 1368–1911). Students,
collectors, museum visitors, scholars, historians, and individuals
interested in Chinese art will be stirred by the sensuous
interplay of hierarchy and design of the painted and textile arts of
the Chinese Imperial court, as explored and illuminated in this book.
