[CHINESE WOODBLOCK PRINT] Beiping Rong Bao Zhai Shi Jian Pu (Beiping Rong Bao Zhai Poetry Letter Paper). Beijing: Rong Bao Zhai, 1935.
1935年版《北平榮寶齋詩箋譜》木版水印一函兩冊

Two thread binding volumes in one beige brocade case; the title slip of the case is by Luo Zhenyu, the volumes by Xiao Mao. Together 200 prints.

Between 1933 and 1934, Rong Bao Zhai collaborated with Lu Xun and Zheng Zhenduo to publish the Beiping Jianpu, and to recut the Ten Bamboo Studio Collection of Calligraphy and Painting. Building on this foundation, in 1935, Rong Bao Zhai independently compiled and published the Beiping Rong Bao Zhai Poetry Letter Paper Designs (Beiping Rong Bao Zhai Shi Jian Pu) in one case of two volumes, which included 200 examples of letter papers. Some were retained from the Beiping Jianpu, while the rest were commissioned by Rong Bao Zhai from leading artists such as Qi Baishi, Pu Ru, Wu Daiqiu, Xu Cao, Yan Bolong, Wang Mengbai, and Zhang Daqian, among others. With its red silk covers, superbly executed printing, the work exemplifies Rong Bao Zhai’s commitment to artistry and craftsmanship.

The 1935 edition of the Beiping Rong Bao Zhai Poetry Letter Paper is known with three different versions of the title slip, respectively written by the painter Xiao Xun, the bibliophile Yang Zhongxi, and the scholar Luo Zhenyu. However, the title slips were not consistently matched within each set: the slip on the case and that on the volume covers often appear in different combinations, and the contents of individual sets also vary slightly.

函套題簽：榮寶齋詩箋譜，羅振玉。
封面題簽：北平榮寶齋詩箋譜，蕭愻題。

1933-1934年，榮寶齋曾為魯迅和鄭振鐸刻印《北平箋譜》、復刻《十竹齋箋譜》。在此基礎上，1935年自行編印了《北平榮寶齋詩箋譜》一函二冊，收入箋紙二百種：部分保留了《北平箋譜》中榮寶齋刻印的箋紙，其余爲榮寶齋精心挑選、委托繪製的畫箋，包含齊白石、溥心畬、吳待秋、徐操、顏伯龍、王夢白、張大千等諸多名家。紅絹封面，刻印精絕，用色妍雅。

1935年刻印的《北平榮寶齋詩箋譜》，題簽有三種版本，分別來自畫家蕭愻、藏書家楊鐘羲和金石學家羅振玉。但一套箋譜的題簽不完全對應，函套與封面的題簽常常混搭，每套收錄的內容也不完全一致。
