A typical rural scene in the Chinese mountains. In a quietly dramatic manner, through the low camera angle, shallow depth of field and lighting, this grounded and authentic image captures the dignity of the clearly arduous daily life.

This is a genuine vintage photogravure, printed in Paris in 1938 and has the fantastic warmth and tonal range of a platinum print. A 13" x 10" print archivally mounted on 100% acid-free board.
