- Summary:
-
"Negative taken late in the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve (1921) about Feby 9th 1921 & developed by me after dark (not having any dark room) in my - bedroom - dining room - bathroom - office etc. etc & studio at Kanchowfu. Enlargement from the plate (3 1/4 inches & 4 1/4 inches) by Burr & Co Shanghai. Owing to the darkness of temple interiors & the cramped position & using a single extension Kodak the results aren't so bad. The priest was much please with a copy (1/4 plate) which I gave him. He is striking a wooden bell to call the spirits. Offerings of mandarin oranges: also incense burner can be seen. The tapestry is very highly coloured - the straw mat is for worshippers to kneel on. H.J.A."--Inscription on reverse of mount.
