Schlagintweit, Emil: Buddhism in Tibet. Atlas of Objects of Buddhist Worship. Nur Atlasband (ohne den Textband). Leipzig: Brockhaus 1863. 47,5 x 31,5 cm. Mit 20 gefalteten lithogr. Tafeln. 4 Bll. HLdr.-Mappe mit Deckelschild.
(Berieben, gering bestoßen und fleckig. Das Titelblatt mit Knickspur an der oberen linken Ecke. Leicht stockfleckig, vereinzelt mit kleinen Randeinrissen und Randanschmutzungen.)
Seltene Dokumentation tibetisch-buddhistischer Kultgegenstände, entstanden im Zusammenhang mit den Forschungsreisen der Brüder Schlagintweit. - „For the plates of the atlas such objects have been selected as illustrate the worship of the deities, the ornamental decoration of the interior of the temples, and the strong belief in the beneficial influence of magical sentences and figures upon the welfare of man; the number of Buddhas, kings, and deified sages is particularly great. (...) The paintings were traced in Tibet by means of patterns upon paper, or canvass prepared with chalk, lime, and flour-paste. A variety of colours is most minutely applied, and these tints are not only used for increasing the plastic effect, but their colour is also directly combined with the sacred character of the object, as I have frequently had occassion to allude to. Here, in the atlas, the reproduction of the outlines is particularly given; it was obtained by an immediate process, viz. by putting tranparent paper upon the objects & by transferring their contours directly upon the stone, after having traced them with lithographic ink“ (aus dem Vorwort).
