史景迁名作《康熙：中国皇帝自画像》—外交官史大伟Stephen Schlaikjer旧藏本From the Library of a Diplomat

1974 Knopf First Edition.

This volume is a poignant piece of the personal history of Stephen A. Schlaikjer (1951–2024), the late Senior Foreign Service Officer and prominent China specialist at the U.S. State Department.

• The Schlaikjer Bookplate: The inside cover features Schlaikjer’s custom bookplate, elegantly signed with his name and printed with a distinctive pine tree motif. This marks the volume as a core part of the private library he built during his decades-long career managing U.S.-China relations.

• Scholarly Connection: It is fitting that a diplomat tasked with understanding the modern Chinese state would keep Jonathan Spence’s psychological portrait of one of China’s greatest emperors close at hand.

• Provenance: Sourced directly from the Schlaikjer estate, this copy is a testament to the intellectual rigor of the men and women who shaped American foreign policy in the Pacific.

此本《康熙：中国皇帝自画像》是已故资深外交官、前美国国务院中国事务处处长史大伟（Stephen A. Schlaikjer）的私人藏书。

• 个人藏书票： 扉页贴有史大伟先生精美的个人藏书票，上有其亲笔签名及标志性的青松图案。这证明了本书曾是他个人图书馆中的核心藏品，伴随了他长达数十年的外交生涯。

• 专业关联： 作为当代最重要的“中国通”之一，史大伟先生收藏史景迁这部通过康熙自述来解剖皇权心态的名著，本身就体现了一位顶级外交官对中国政治历史的深刻探究。

• 流传有序： 直接出自史大伟先生遗产，具有极高的纪念意义与收藏价值。它不仅是一本书，更是一位塑造了中美关系历史的高级外交官知识世界的缩影。
