		And then they hired a man called Langdon Warner, who was a professor of art history in the Oriental department at Harvard, taught undergraduate and graduate school, and they got him to help them buy Oriental art because, right from the beginning, they wanted to have the gallery's collection to represent all civilizations.
		So, Langdon Warner helped them acquire Asian art, and it happened that Langdon Warner went to Asia periodically to do his own research and to carry out commissions for various people, and so forth, and so on.
		At any rate, when Langdon Warner turned up, Larry Sickman dropped what he was doing and went around Beijing with Warner, and spotted the various things which they acquired for the museum, buying from the dealers, and so on.

	Library of Congress Information Bulletin - December 2003
		The “Atlas of the Ming Empire” (“Da ming yu di tu”), circa 1536-1566, is a manuscript atlas with 18 maps, containing separate plates for each of 16 provinces of China and for the metropolitan areas of Nanking and Beijing.
		The atlas had been purchased in 1929 from archaeologist Langdon Warner (1881-1955), director of the first and second China expeditions of the Fogg Museum of Harvard University.
		Until Li’s assessment of the date of the atlas, made by determining that a number of the maps were backed by tax records from the 1560s, it was assumed that the atlas dated from the first half of the 17th century.

	The Silk Road
		The frescoes at Dunhuang were also some of the best on the whole route, and many of the most beautiful ones were removed by the American professor, Langdon Warner, and his party.
		Between the visits of Stein and Warner to Dunhuang, a group of White Russian soldiers fleeing into China had passed by and defaced many of the best remaining frescoes to such an extent that the irate Warner decided to `salvage' as much as he could of the rest.
		The Chinese authorities at the time seem to have known about the art treasures of places like Dunhuang, but don't seem to have been prepared to protect them; the serious work of protection and restoration was left until the formation of the People's Republic.

		Langdon Warner’s The Enduring Art of Japan is a classic introduction by a great teacher and scholar.
		For superb reproductions of Japanese painting and sculpture, Yukio Yoshiro’s 2000 Years of Japanese Art should do all that any book can do to explain the influence that art has had in Buddhist history.
