ZZGPP2 THE GATES AND PAILOUS OF PEKING. N.p., (Beijing?) n.d. 76 loose b/w photographs. 25x20 cm. Loose photographs in box. GBP 2,500.00 A collection of 76 black-and-white photographs developed from negatives bought in Beijing. The photographs provide a wide selection of interiors and exteriors predominantly of the walls and gates of Peking. Probably taken by an amateur photographer from the 1950s onwards and whom, we assume, was an enthusiast of the walls and gates. The photographs are not of the highest quality but are an interesting archive of visual information about these destroyed splendours. The slides accompanied by a list in Chinese. We provide an English translation. Images available on request. Subjects: Photography Beijing Item 14 in List 209.
