#AdvancingWithTheTime Liuzhou (1791–1858) was excelled at making paper rubbings. The rubbing below that looks like a black and white photo was one of his most famous works. It was taken from a goose foot lamp🪔 made in 33 BCE. The monk in red shoes working on the lamp is Liuzhou.
Bought the exhibit catalogue for our library the first moment it was announced. Now really wondering if our catalogs could have an entry or a note: contains copyright infringement content/contributors unfairly treated. What a disappointment.

In our collection at @utlibraries, there is a Japanese 1874 remake/translation of the Quanti xinlun by Benjamin Hobson, first published in Shanghai in 1851. The 1874 Japanese edition redid the illustrations with copperplate. Chinese version from Harvard: iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view….

Just a constant state of mourning - to live in this place, in these times. If you are able to - that 5 year old in this portrait is the sole survivor of the Cho family. gofund.me/94af46fd
Today’s encounter is some old secret KMT stuff at @utlibraries . One of them apparently bears a stamp from the KMT central committee. Not sure what “third grade” 第三級 refers to though. Maybe level of secrecy?
😂Fair enough that PCL 2.2 is in Red Turds. The gender inclusive ones (2.30x) by the learning labs could, occasionally, be golden though.
