CHINA] Ellen CATLEEN - Peking Studies. Sketches by F.H. SCHIFF. Shanghai, Kelly & Walsh, 1934. In-folio, publisher's cloth decorated on the first board with a small photograph and 2 stylized Chinese figures photographing the lion, long title on a red cloth strip. 87 pp. FIRST EDITION. Beautiful evocation of Beijing by the Catleen Schiff duo. The former, wife of the sinophile ambassador Thornbecke, photographed aspects of daily life in Beijing with her Rolleiflex, while Schiff (1908-1968), a cartoonist and caricaturist, embellished the photographs with drawings of Messrs. Pim and Wu on a walk in Beijing. Schiff is notably the author of "Maskee. A Shangai Sketchbook" (published in Shangai in the 1940s).
