Reviews
"An extraordinary work, brimming with essential information available nowhere else about one of the characteristic products of Chinese civilization - the ink rubbing. For all scholars of Chinese material culture, rubbings are important resources, not only for their aesthetic and art historical interest, but also for the information in texts they record." Robert E. Harrist Jr., Columbia University"There is no comparable history of ink rubbings in any Western language. Starr truly has the 'organic feel' for his subject, having made and studied ink rubbings for decades. His knowledge is encyclopaedic, and he describes materials and processes with graceful familiarity and clarity. The fine details of connoisseurship and aesthetic judgments, as well as the wealth of tradition and technique involved, are beautifully laid out, and the reader feels privileged to look over the shoulder of a great craftsman and scholar."

Synopsis
The first comprehensive study in a Western language of Chinese ink rubbings of inscriptions and pictorial images, long considered an art in themselves, Since at least the early sixth century C.E., ink rubbings of stone, metal, clay tiles, and wood inscriptions and pictorial images have been used in China to make precise copies of culturally valued material. These paper copies sometimes are all that remain of original works that have become illegible through erosion, or that have been destroyed by war or development, or have been rendered inaccessible through events such as flooding resulting from dam construction. Chinese rubbing techniques are used throughout East Asia to create copies that often also are prized in themselves as works of art. Despite the primary importance of this technology to history, art, archaeology, printing, and many other fields of knowledge, Black Tigers is the first comprehensive study of rubbings in a Western language, and as such will be welcomed by both scholars and collectors. In Black Tigers , Kenneth Starr recounts what he has seen and learned in fifty years of fascination with rubbings and travels to China in search of the early inscriptions from which they came. The book is a history of rubbings, a guide to connoisseurship, and a technical handbook on the materials and techniques used to make rubbings. Now readers of English, with the author as their affable guide, can gain rich insight into a rigorous discipline of classical scholarship, the way in which traditional scholars viewed their world, and some of the exquisite subtleties of Chinese high culture and connoisseurship. Black Tigers will be an essential resource for students of Chinese art, history, calligraphy, archaeology, and the history of printing.

Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
