[London 1858, ILN. Single sheet with two half-page illustra- tions & text, very good. First view shows 12 Chinese farmers both men & women engaged in ploughing, watering, harvesting and tending the fields, while several children play. One carries what looks like a lunch on a bamboo shoulder pole with two baskets. The 2nd illustration is of the interior of a upperclass Chinese home with the father seated smoking a cigarette, with a servant just leaving after delivering a bottle of wine [?] and two cups. Elaborate furniture and oil lamps and furnishings.
