- Grateful thanks are due to the owner of this marvellous collection of Qing dynasty porcelain, Mr. Brian S. McElney, who put his porcelain at the disposal of the staff of the Art Gallery, thus making this exhibition and publication possible.
We should also like to thank the following Art Gallery staff members for their assistance: Antoinette Church, Amy Algard, Brian Patten and Chris Russell, and Trevor Mills for the photography.
For the calligraphy of the names of the Qing Emperors we would like to thank Mr. Xu Datong of Beijing. Also we would like to thank the National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan for supplying photographs of portrait paintings of the Emperors: Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong.
This project was made possible by funds generously provided by the Canada Council, B.C. Cultural Fund and the National Museums of Canada.
To all those mentioned above, our profound appreciation.
