"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.

In that old potter's shop [picture]

Inscription: "On a ramble one Sunday morning I chanced upon this dirty, dismal shop & the lines of the "Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam prompted me to snap the interior. Ere I had taken the snap fully 50 Chinese of every age, sex & degree of filth had filled the front of the building & no doubt thought the "Foreign Devil" more demented than usual, photographing common clay pots & "kongs" etc. I do not care as much for the enlargement as the 3 1/4 in x 4 1/4 inch negative & print but it can pass. I call this snap "In that old potter's shop" H.J.A 1.12.1930."--On reverse of mount
