Old Houses - Traditional Chinese Dwellings Of Fujian 2

Old Houses - Traditional Chinese Dwellings of Fujian 2 (1996) – Jiangsu Fine Arts / White Lotus Press

From the folks at Jiangsu Fine Arts (and the ever-enigmatic White Lotus Press), Old Houses is a hauntingly beautiful, surprisingly hefty look at the traditional dwellings of Fujian province. Think swooping eaves, fortress-like tulou, and stone courtyards that have seen more history than most modern cities. Published in 1996 and loaded with photos, diagrams, and that slightly musty charm only aging art books can offer, this one’s for architecture nerds, China buffs, or anyone who prefers their houses old, complicated, and full of secrets.

Sold as-is, because we’re Crappy Old Books – we sell ’em old, we sell ’em weird, and occasionally we sell ’em magnificent. This might be one of those.

Very good condition but the plastic protective outer has not been applied perfectly as there are some creases in it.

The main text is in English but all the numerous images are annoted in Chinese.
