THE TIRED WISE MAN AND HIS BASKET in OLD CHINA

Poor......but wise. I'm sure he could tell the rich bureaucrats a thing or two.

Photo by T. Enami.

Enami photographed in China, and had a branch studio in Hong Kong.

Enami's views of China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines are very rare today.

For more on the photographer see : www.t-enami.org/

From a group of original 1895-1935 glass lantern slides depicting scenes and people in pre-WW2 China. The coloring is not mine. They were tinted by hand using fine brushes at the time the slides were made. With only a few exceptions, the size of the slides is 3 1/4 inches x 4 inches, with the centered image being smaller depending on the size of the border matte. I have cropped away the matte for most of these flickr posts. Enjoy..
