HOBSON, R.L. A Catalogue of Chinese Pottery and Porcelain in the Collection of Sir Percival David. London: The Stourton Press, 1934.
2o. 180 photographic plates, mostly colored. Original blue Chinese silk binding (lightly rubbed).
FIRST EDITION, limited issue number 117 of 650 copies. Hobson remarks that not only has David "provided a feast of many delightful and intriguing objects to satisfy the appetite of the collector, but his researches have supplied what was needed to assimilate them. He has hunted up all the relevant references in published works, he has traced the past history of his specimens as far as ownership extends, he has had the inscriptions read and he has edited the translation of them, in short he has got together all the available material for the compilation of this Catalogue" (Introduction).
