There follow two double-pages dating from the album of 1760 and bearing calligraphic poems by Qiu Rixiu, Minister of Protocol, and Yu Minzhong, secretary of the Emperor Qianlong and preceptor of the imperial princes. Then twenty double-pages representing couples of twenty minority ethnic groups, male and female vis-à-vis, mainly on the borders of Guangdong and Guangxi today, described and located by a text in Manchu and Chinese. Finally, two empty double-pages. Dimensions: 39 cm x 34.2 cm each page. Miss both precious wood covers and probably 13 double-page illustrated. Notes Titled Zhigongtu (Bearers of Tribes), it is rather a representation of ethnic types from the borders of Guangdong and Guangxi current, a man and a woman vis-à-vis on two pages. In addition to a title situating each tribe geographically and administratively, a short notice traces the history of its relations with the Qing Empire. The text is bilingual Chinese and Manchu. This album is the fourth volume of a series probably comprising eight or twelve. Similar albums, also mounted in horizontal scrolls, cataloging the nations of the world or the vassal peoples of the Chinese empire, are kept at the Palace Museum in Beijing. One of the double-pages bears the two seals: Wufuwudaitang guxi tianzi bao, "Great seal of a son of Heaven having reached a rare longevity of all times (70 years), in the Hall of Five Happiness for five generations", and Bazheng maonian zhi bao, "Great Seal of the Eight Indices for Choosing a Successor by an Octogenarian", celebrating the 80th anniversary of Qianlong in 1790 and his concerns about an heir. Another double-page bears the Yuanmingyuan bao seal, "Garden of Perfect Clarity". All these marks correspond exactly to those published in Qingdai dihou xiyinpu (Collection of Seals of Emperors and Sovereigns of the Qing Dynasty).

Definitions

The auctioneer conducts the auction.

There are two auction types :

  • Voluntary auctions : an owner provides freely items. The voluntary auction is organized in accordance with the provisions of the French Civil Code (laws of July 10, 2000 and July 20, 2011,art. L. 321-1 to L. 321-38 of the French Commercial Code). The fees are applied in addition to the hammer price. They are generally set at 20% pre-tax, i.e 24% after tax.Upcoming Voluntary Sales.
  • The judicial sales : a judicial sale is provided for by a law or regulation, or can be authorized by a judge. Fees in addition to the hammer price are set at 12% pre-tax, i.e 14.40% after tax.Upcoming judicial sales.
 

A sale can be described as an auction when anybody is free to participate, under the sole condition of his solvency.

Everybody is able to hear all the offers made, and can thus outbid. The object presented is won by the highest bidder.

Any bid has to be equal to or higher than the starting price, or must be higher than the one proposed by a competitor for the purchase of the thing.

The amount of every bid is repeated out loud by the auctioneer so that every bidder can hear it.

This way, auctions are an objective and automatic mode of designation of a price and a purchaser.

The purchase order corresponds to a specific maximum amount in euros up to which the auctioneer is mandated to buy the item. The auctioneer buys the item on behalf of his client, in accordance with the instructions of the purchase order form. The auctioneer aims to purchase the item at the lowest possible price and still under the maximum price his client has set.
