China3- rich gelatin-silver prints on album pages, ca. 1900. A 5 7/8” x 7 ¾” print shows a group of older students holding clubs above their heads. A 5 ½” x 7 ½” print shows a group of younger students holding long sticks. A 4” x 5 ½” print shows even younger students holding bands of 6 wooden balls above their heads. These are attractive, charming, and illuminating. The tones are good and there is an essentially rich attractive presence, although there are some corners clipped or folded.
