Woodblock illustrations were an important source of decorative designs during the late Ming and Qing dynasties. The eight-lobed, foliated Tang mirror decorating this octagonal ink cake was borrowed from an illustration in the Xinqing gujian (Catalogue of Xiqing Antiques), a compilation of the antiques collected in the Qing palace. A fictitious mark of Fang Yulu was added to this ink cake to increase its value.
