They aim to understand animals and plants in the new contexts of empirical and epistemological concerns, political and social agendas, and cultural interests. In particular, they examine the ways in which scholars, professional painters, and publishers engendered the sociohistorical meanings of the images.ART / Asian / GeneralbisacshKnowledge production, early modern, visual culture, plants and animals.ART / Asian / General.709.51Lin Fan879550Mueller Doreen1793850MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910978215403321Picturing Animals and Plants in Early Modern China and Japan4334025UNINA
