[CHINESE WOODBLOCK PRINT] Beijing Jian Pu. Beijing: Rong Bao Zhai, 1958.
1958年版榮寶齋《北京笺譜》木版水印一函六冊

Six thread binding volumes in one blue case.

In December 1958, Rong Bao Zhai published the Beijing Jian pu in six volumes within one case, as a memorial to Zheng Zhenduo, who tragically died earlier that year in an airplane accident during his visit to the Soviet Union.

Originally titled Beiping Jianpu, the work was first compiled in 1933 by Lu Xun and Zheng Zhenduo, bringing together more than 300 examples of colored letter papers. The collection included designs by artists such as Qi Baishi, Wu Daiqiu, Wang Mengbai, Yan Bolong, Wang Shizi, and Chen Banding. The first edition was limited to 100 sets, of which Lu Xun retained 20 for himself, with most of the remainder gifted to friends. A further 100 sets were printed the following year.

The 1958 edition features a newly added preface by Xu Guangping, Lu Xun’s widow. Printed on Qingtanpi paper, with finely executed impressions and brilliantly applied colors.

榮寶齋在1958年12月出版《北京箋譜》，是對當年訪蘇途中飛機失事不幸遇難的鄭振鐸的深切紀念。

《北京箋譜》原名《北平箋譜》，1933年由魯迅與鄭振鐸選輯而成，共收彩箋三百余幅，含齐白石、吴待秋、王梦白、颜伯龙、王师子、陈半丁等名家画作，魯迅謂之“中國木刻史上斷代之惟一豐碑”。初版一百部，鲁迅自留二十部，餘下大多贈送朋友，并於第二年加印一百部。1958年版新增魯迅遺孀許廣平之序言，青檀皮紙基，刻印精細，用色妍麗，甚為稀見。
