Item History & Price
*** 20 Beautiful Hand Coloured Postcards of the Canton River ***Southern ChinaNow known as Pearl River / Zhuijiang
The cards show the topography, creeks, bridges, sailing vessels & general river life.The images are detailed and colourful.This delightful set of postcards was purchased in China in the early 1900s by a lady who liked them too much to send, keeping them as a souvenir. She travelled widely in Asia from 1901 to 1910 and during those 9 years visited China on severa...l occasions so this is why it is not possible to date them exactly.
They were published by the iconic Waterlow and Sons for the Chinese Imperial Post
All are in good clean condition with only a very slight shadow from each picture on the reverse of each card.
