「五十萬卷樓」收藏名家書畫（編號1282-1305）

近世廣東藏書之富，當首推東莞莫伯驥「五十萬卷樓」。莫伯驥（1878-1958），字天一，少年學醫，畢業後於廣州自設「仁壽西藥房」。莫氏一家以田力讀書為彝訓，陳編世守，嬋嫣不絕。伯驥父啟智有「庸言書屋」，精研宋學，所藏宋元名臣大儒之遺書森森連屋；伯驥少年時因生計棄儒從商而致富，獨甘飯蔬食，癡迷古書，練積三四十年如一日，終以五十萬卷藏書「上企瞿楊，無慚丁陸」，惜其藏書多散失於抗戰動盪歲月；著作達五十種之多，亦毀於戰火，惟存出版〈五十萬卷樓藏書目錄初編〉及〈五十萬卷樓群書跋文〉兩種。

本輯所集「五十萬卷樓」書畫收藏廿四件，部份為藝壇時賢贈予莫伯驥、培樾父子者，若黃賓虹為「五十萬卷樓」命題之作、張大千寫贈之澳門紀游山水；其餘多為有清一代名臣碩儒墨跡。莫伯驥曾與友人言收藏：「予無力收書畫，但藏書家如潘文勤，家亭諸公手翰，則頗有之。予蓋欲得藏書家之墨迹以寄其心情也。」其子培樾自幼浸淫於乃父與容肇祖、盧子樞等學人雅士之交游中，深受薰陶，亦嗜文藝。故莫氏蒐集者迥異於一般藏畫家，自是出於藏書世家經世研學思路，輯中諸作，即可證之。

註：上款「笙陔」即翁同龢。一八五九年，莫友芝京城春試落第，援例引見，等候補缺，居京年餘間，京城中名卿學士莫不爭與之友，相交唱和者有祁雋藻、潘祖蔭、楊峴、翁同龢等。翁氏甚仰子偲學養，日記中屢有述及。莫氏離京，翁同龢在湖廣會館為其餞行，其後鴻雁往還，君子情誼，淡而益親，此聯或為莫、翁二人交游京城時遺跡。日後入湖南譚澤闓收藏，上鈐其「缾齋袐匧」藏印。

莫氏篆書筑基秦漢，行筆圓活，點畫圓正中實，以毛筆蓄墨多少帶出筆跡粗細變化，肥而不臃腫，細亦不怯弱，迥異於當時篆書者以描畫代書寫之通病，章太炎題跋中所評甚為中肯貼切。莫友芝又嗜書如命，藏書之富為西南少見，故黃賓虹將莫伯驥與其並稱「二妙」。
