More about the book

The daily life of the common people in China, as it took place in the streets, shops and warehouses of the late 18th century was “still but little known by Europeans.” H. Mason published with his collection of 60 hand-coloured plates the first colour book of China in the Western world. It gave a completely new insight into life, habits, trade and costumes of this fascinating world. The characters like the mandarin in his summer dress, the beggar with a monkey, the embroidering woman or the acrobat in his bal. (illustrated by sixty engravings)
