Chinoiserie: The Vision of Cathay explores the fantastical representation of China as envisioned by Europeans, often blurring the lines between reality and imagination. As historian Hugh Honour describes, it reflects a dream of Cathay that is more a product of imagination than actual experience. Some creasing to cover, otherwise internally sound.
