Published in 2024, this album showcases the remarkable pith paper paintings collected by the CUHK Library. These artworks, created in 19th century Guangzhou, vividly depict daily life scenes from that era. The album includes seven thematic sections: Tea Plantation, Rice Cultivation, Boats, Costumes, Entertainment, Punishment, and Nature. Due to their Chinese themes, affordable prices and portability, these paintings became popular souvenirs among European and American traders, collectors, and sailors residing at the port. These small pith paper paintings not only bridged the gap of mutual understanding between the East and the West but also reflected the Westerners’ romantic imagination of this exotic land.
