Hardbound. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. With early Western focus on the arts of China, Japan and India, three of the smaller cultures of Asia, each with rich and distinctive traditions of their own, tended to have been neglected. This classic art history, each section authored by a renowned authority in his field, addressed this void admirably. Still a valuable starting point for the study of each of the three cultures addressed, this volume well deserves space in all libraries focused on Asian art history.

Staplebound. Zustand: Very good. [6], 60, [2] pages. Frontis illustration. Notes. The cover has some wear, soiling and sunning. This paper is an expanded version of an article that appeared in the Journal of the Siam Society (Bangkok), vol. XLV/1, April, 1957, under the title of King Mongkut in perspective. Alexander Brown Griswold (19 April 1907 4 October 1991) was an American art historian, known for his work in Thai art history and epigraphy. Born into an established banking family of Baltimore, he became acquainted with Thailand while serving in the army during World War II, and developed an interest in the country's history and culture, thereafter dedicating himself to the study of its history and archaeology. Griswold's early work mostly focused on stylistic analyses of the religious sculpture of Sukhothai and Lan Na, and by the 1960s he had become recognized as an expert authority on Thai traditional art, particularly in the area of sculpture. He was an adjunct professor at Cornell University, and amassed a large collection of Thai art and antiques at his home near Baltimore, which was opened to the public as a museum. His later work shifted in focus to the study of ancient inscriptions, and he co-authored the landmark "Epigraphic and Historical Studies" series with Prasert na Nagara from 1968 to 1979. Mongkut (18 October 1804 1 October 1868) was the fourth king of Siam from the Chakri dynasty, titled Rama IV. He ruled from 1851 to 1868. His full title in Thai was Phra Poramenthra Ramathibodhi Srisindra Maha Mongkut Phra Chomklao Chao Yu Hua Phra Sayam Thewa Maha Makut Witthaya Maharat. The reign of Mongkut was marked by significant modernization initiatives and diplomatic engagements, which played pivotal roles in shaping Thailand's trajectory towards progress and international relations. Siam first felt the pressure of Western expansionism during Mongkut's reign. Mongkut embraced Western innovations and initiated the modernization of his country, both in technology and cultureearning him the nickname "The Father of Science and Technology" in Siam. Mongkut was also known for appointing his younger brother, Prince Chutamani, as Second King, crowned in 1851 as King Pinklao. Mongkut told the country that Pinklao should be respected with equal honor to himself (as King Naresuan had done with his brother Ekathotsarot in 1583). During Mongkut's reign, the power of the House of Bunnag reached its zenith: It became the most powerful noble family of Siam. Mongkut is known in the West primarily through the lens of the book Anna and the King and the derived 1951 musical The King and I and its 1956 film adaptation.
