Amusing Images Etiquette (1 results)

Four amusing coloured handbills depicting expectations of behaviour in daily life, two with social comment, 12.1 x 16.3cm, text in traditional Chinese characters. Minor occasional foxing, not affecting images, few small closed tears at margins repaired with washi paper otherwise good copies. Two of the images ?????? and ???, refer to how children are brought up, to be either obedient or disobedient, with social class appearing to play its part in the outcome. In another image ???, a group of children play happily with a tub of goldfish and watermelons on a terrace. In ??????, a graceful young woman, Second Big Sister Liu, carries a baby on her back near a temple - the text above relates her background. It amusingly points out some details in the image; how the pancake seller was so distracted by her that a dog came and stole his wares, and because the tea seller was also looking at her, he scalded his hand.
