Chinese rubbings

The Estampages chinois conservés en Europe database has been developed thanks to the financial support of the CCK Foundation. It is the result of a collective work realised under the direction of Prof. Jean-Pierre Drège, and by Richard Schneider, who has developed the program of this database.

The Chinese rubbings presented here belong to some French institutions as the Société asiatique (SA), the Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient (EF), the Institut des hautes études chinoises (IH), the Guimet Museum (MG), as well as to European collections such the Rietberg Museum in Zürich (ZR), the Bodleian Library in Oxford (OB), the British Library (BL) and the British Museum (BM) in London, the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm (SF) and the National Galery in Prague (NG).
