REVUE DES ARTS ASIATIQUES — No. 1, May 1924 - Lot 264
REVUE DES ARTS ASIATIQUES — No. 1, May 1924 Paris, Librairie des Arts et Voyages, May 1924. First year, No. 1. In-4, paperback (approx. 28 × 22 cm), printed cover, 32 pp., photographic illustrations in the text and as inserts. A rare first issue of this important journal devoted to the arts of Asia, founded in May 1924 under the direction of Edmond Jaloux, with Florent Fels as editor-in-chief. The publication continued until 1942 and was the predecessor of the journal *Arts Asiatiques*. The Cernuschi Museum has held the collection since this very first issue of May 1924. This inaugural issue notably includes: Jean Lartigue, “The Buddhist Sanctuary of T’ien-Long-Chan”; Henri d’Ardenne de Tizac, “Classical Jades”; Edmond Jaloux, “Observations on Chinese Art”; Alfred Salmony, “The Visual Arts of Tibet,” as well as a bibliography and “Letters from the East.” An interesting copy that includes an original insert: a subscription and introductory brochure for the *Revue des Arts Asiatiques*, featuring a list of the journal’s principal contributors. This item, rarely preserved with the journal, adds significant value to the copy. Cover is slightly faded and soiled, with a few creases and minor signs of wear; a small tear is visible at the margin. Interior is in generally good condition.
