Légende

Chinese Banner, 1857. 'In a silk-producing country like China, noted alike for its skill in embroidery, symbols, and distinctions, we are not surprised to find great importance attached to banners. We engrave a specimen of one with an inscription, the subject of which our correspondents who are skilled in the Chinese language may translate, and thus enable us hereafter to communicate to our readers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
