A Handbook for Connoisseurs, Collectors, Students and Silversmiths" By H. Ling Roth. Published in London by Truslove & Hanson Ltd.: 1910. H. Ling Roth was Curator at the Bankfield Museum in Halifax, and was able to locate a large private collection of Malay silver which he made the focus of an exhibition at the museum several years before he wrote this book. This book is a loving tribute to the art of the Malay silversmith, illustrated with examples from the collections of Cecil Wray, W.A. Luning, Leonard Wray and Dr. Chas. Hose. Roth was an eager student and keen observer, and includes a very perceptive and enthusiastic introduction in which he explains the techniques employed by the smiths of the Malay peninsula, and the place silver has in the lives of its owners there. He also delves into the influences of Chinese silver and silversmiths on the designs and techniques of the Malaysian silversmiths. The catalog of pieces features clear photographs and descriptions which run from thumbnail length to extensive, with Roth’s deep knowledge of, and appreciation for, the Malaysian work very evident. Hardcover. 9"x11.5", 300 pages, 170 black & white illustrations; original silver-lettered blue cloth covers. Light wear, endpapers a bit toned, but in very nice, clean condition.
