"This books is the second of two exhibitions with catalogues undertaken to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Massachusetts' entry into the China trade. The exhibitions were originally planned by the China Trade Museum, and when that institution merged with the Peabody Museum of Salem, the trustees and staff of the Peabody undertook to complete both projects. Just as the first exhibition celebrated the merger and consequent inauguration of a new department of Asian Export Art at the Peabody Museum, so the present exhibition marks the commencement of construction of a new wing to display the combined Asian export art collections." - quoted from preface.
