Catalogue: Download PDF catalogue
Lots: 204
Our sale is from one of the world’s largest and best private collections of artefacts from the Cultural Revolution. It includes a rare edition of Mao’s Little Red Book, produced in August 1963, some ten months before the official Beijing version was released in May 1964. Compiled and printed by the Political Department, Air Force Division of the Shenyang Military Region, it numbers 156pp and lacks the engraved portrait of the Chairman that became integral to the finished edition.
The collection was compiled over 25 years by the renowned New York antiquarian book dealer and children’s book specialist Justin Schiller. His ‘bursting at the seams’ home in upstate New York includes many thousands of objects related to the Cultural Revolution, much of them bought during regular visits to China.
This is part of the Justin Schiller collection, including books, posters, original art, tapestries, sculpture and memorabilia.
The lots will all remain in situ in upstate New York with the auction staged in London.
