This Ming Dynasty rubbing documents the Zhang Menglong Stele, a significant historical inscription transferred to paper through the traditional technique of ink rubbings. The album of forty four leaves preserves both the textual content and calligraphic qualities of the original stone carving, making it an important record of classical Chinese epigraphy and calligraphic practice. Rubbings served as both artistic and documentary objects in Chinese culture, allowing the dissemination of important inscriptions and demonstrating the valued aesthetics of stone carved characters.
