GULIK, Robert van (author and illustrator). The Lacquer Screen: A Chinese Detective Story. Kuala Lumpur: Art Printing Works. 1962.

8vo. Publisher’s illustrated soft card covers, illustrated endpapers depicting the seasons; pp. [8], 185, [3 (blank)], with 10 illustrations by the author; previous bookseller’s price in black pen to top-right corner of front cover, light spotting and toning to white back cover, bookseller’s stamp to half-title page; very good.

First edition of the sixth Judge Dee novel.

Following the traditional Chinese detective story structure, Judge Dee must solve three interwoven mysteries. Along with the local magistrate Chiao Tai, they infiltrate the criminal underworld of Wei-ping, remaining incognito among gangsters for two perilous days and nights.

Judge Dee is based on the seventh-century Tang Dynasty magistrate, Di Renjie. Van Gulik first encountered this historical figure in the anonymous eighteenth-century Dee Goong An, which he translated into English in 1949. He continued to develop Dee in his original detective fiction thereafter. A diplomat and scholar of sinology, Van Gulik incorporated his research into the novels, as well as providing illustrations. This volume includes ten exquisite woodblock-style illustrations by the author.

Evers, p. 55.

Best face sun protection
My Neutrogena one stung my eyes and made me constantly tear and this is soooo much better. It feels light and dries down well without feeling greasy. Also it didn't make my skin react. A++

Greasy but light
It's very lightweight and is definitely hydrating it's lightly greasy after its dry and it is not matte but has a dewy shine to it , I have tried many sunscreens and settled on this one as it just has a nicer feel to it and is easier to apply everyday, it goes on quickly and leaves no white streaks at all Its more watery than thick And does NOT peel whatsoever I Would definitely recommend this as a daily Face sunscreen if you not mind the shine it has to it. Its convenient Yet the bottle is small and last only about a 1 to 3 weeks depending how many times you use it To bad They DO NOT MAKE A BIGGER SIZE

Hydrating sunscreen
This is a great sunscreen for dry sensitive skin, even combination skin specifically if you’re using acne products that can dry out your skin. My dermatologist recommended this to me due to my rosacea and dry flaky skin. It helped me maintain my skin moisturize during the day, also adds a healthy glow to the skin. It has a liquid consistency which I love cause it makes it so much easier to blend and absorbs faster into the skin. I wouldn’t recommend so much for oily skin though, it can make you look greasy really quick!!
