Reference Code: GBR/1928/NRI/SCC2/71/6/7
Scope and Contents
The related documents include sample pages from the book; photographs of incense seal clocks from Bedini's own collection. Bedini raises the question of why so many incense clocks were produced in the 18th and 19th centuries. Needham's letter suggests that the book was possibly part of Liu Jui-Fên's [劉瑞芬 / Liu Ruifen] collected works.
