Set of 17 (of 20) black and white numbered photographs of study groups, workers, peasants and soldiers in various locations, missing numbers 6, 9 and 15, 11.5 x 15cm. Library stamp on reverse, offset in small area onto three images, photographs presented in envelope, label laid down on the front providing publication and sales details, such as price, number and date. The whole presented in a Xinhua plastic envelope. Among the many interesting photographs in this group is an image of a cave hospital in what appears to be a Hui minority group area with food drying and people waiting on a bench outside, and an image of people crossing a river with bundles tied to carrying poles. While this group of photographs is incomplete, the inclusion of the envelope with production and sales details is unusual and provides valuable information not commonly found with such sets of photographs.
