Am Hofe des Kaisers von China oder Die Greuelthaten v. Tien-Tsin : Eine Erzählung von Holger Dittmann. ([Mit Illustr. von] M[artin] Ränike)

Holger, Dittmann, Ränike, Martin · 1896 · Druck und Verlag von A. Weichert · 4 pictures

This is a German chromolithographed illustrated narrative set at the Chinese imperial court and in Tientsin, written by Holger Dittmann with pictures by Martin Ränike and published by A. Weichert in 1896 for a German popular readership. The four pictures show richly coloured, stylised scenes of Chinese officials, courtiers and street crowds in interiors and a town street, with calligraphic wall scrolls and flat decorative patterns that a designer could draw on for period-styled graphics or Orientalist ornament.
