This would ideally be the first book one would read when beginning to research 18th century Chinese/Manchu robes. The book is divided into categories which include many examples, Qing dragon and court robes, construction, and symbolism. This overview is greatly enhanced by plates of a wide range of robes; each one representing a specific style, rank, gender, or group. The beauty of the colors is the main feature of this robes. Excellent photos make this small but excellent catalogue a 5 stars book. It was also an easy and enjoyable book to read. I began to skim the “construction” section, expecting it to be boring (I have no desire to make one!), but found so many areas of interest, that I read it in its entirety. I recommend this book for anyone who appreciates the grandeur of Chinese art. The robes are among the most important treasures to be found. Congratulations.

    Among its aristocracy, Chinese clothing is an art form distinctively traceable down through the centuries. In Dressed To Rule: 18th Century Court Attire In The Mactaggart Art Collection, John E. Vollmer (an internationally known curator and well regarded scholar in Asian art, textiles, costumes, decorative arts and design) focuses upon Chinese court dress dating from the Quin dynasty (1644-1911) back through the 13th century Jin dynasty. The examples are taken from the renowned Mactaggart Art Collection housed at the University of Alberta. Enhanced with more than fifty color photographs showcasing the garments provided as examples, period portraits, and details from a rare hand scroll illustrating the Chinese emperor’s tour of cities along the Grand Canal, “Dressed To Rule” provides interested readers with an informed and informative overview of the importance, relevance, and utilization of clothing to represent imperial status, prestige, and position. A seminal contribution, “Dressed To Rule” is a strongly recommended addition to personal, professional, and academic library Chinese Culture, Chinese History, and Textile History reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
