Description

Collections of antique opium paraphernalia. Featuring some 100 full-color photographs of the author's collection and ten rarely seen historical photographs, this text provides a fascinating look at the custom of opium smoking and the highly imaginative paraphernalia and accoutrements associated with it, whose artistic sophistication peaked in the 19th century in China and Chinese communities abroad, from Saigon to Singapore to San Francisco.
