In the 1860s, quantities of Japanese art began to appear in Europe
while Chinese art also became more available. A series of international
expositions introduced this material to a burgeoning market poised to
take advantage of the emergence of goods, and dealers soon provided
a steady supply of art from the Far East. On behalf of his clients, George
Lucas purchased hundreds of pieces of Japanese and Chinese porcelains
and decorative objects, but acquired for himself only a small group from
Japan and China: fifty porcelains, four paintings, and one print.
