  • Liu Haisu (刘海粟)

    Liu Haisu (Chinese: 刘海粟; 16 March 1896 – 7 August 1994) was a prominent twentieth-century Chinese painter and a noted art educator. He excelled in Chinese painting and oil painting.  We cannot tell you as much as we would like about this hardcover folio (measuring 11-1/2″ x 8-3/4″ x 1/2″) because it is still sealed in its original clear wrapping.  We did see a sample copy when we got it, through China Post, and it’s like most of our other folios:  a mixture of postcards, mint stamps, and stamped covers.  Perhaps you can find other details online.    Grade: 1

  • Beautiful (set of 10) – cover

    This set came out in 1986.  The major Chinese character on the front means “beautiful”, it’s about good luck for the new year, and as you will see in 20307872B, there are Disney and other cartoon characters on the reverse of each card.  However all these ten unused cards show scenery.  The cover is beaten up a bit, but the cards are in good condition, so we will assign Grade: 2
