The 1633 'Mingshan Tu' (Famous Mountains of China) is a renowned masterpiece of Ming dynasty woodblock printing. While it is a significant subject in English-language art history scholarship—notably in James Cahill's 'Shadows of Mt. Huang' (1981) and various rare book catalogs—these works provide scholarly analysis and descriptions of the illustrations rather than a translation of the text. No record of a complete or partial English translation of the accompanying text was found in any of the searched catalogs.
