Bound books in yellow wrappers with red and green tabs lie in stacks among red and gold vases tied with ribbons, a teapot, a hanging gold ornament with a red tassel and scrolls bound in yellow silk. A gilt clock with a white Roman-numeral face stands on a red base at lower centre. Plum blossom, pink lotus and white narcissus in a shell-shaped dish add flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChaekgeori, meaning books and things, is a genre of Korean still-life painting, usually on folding screens, that flourished from the late eighteenth century into the first half of the twentieth. King Jeongjo (r. 1776–1800) is credited as its first patron; the early court screens painted bookcases in illusionistic depth, the first Korean use of European trompe l'oeil. Books share the shelves with bronzes, ceramics, seals and even European clocks. Most screens carry no name; a few painters hid their seals among the objects on the shelves. By the late nineteenth century the newly rich commissioned them, often with auspicious fruit in place of books, and folk painters took up the theme. Examples are held by the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Minneapolis Institute of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
