This image shows plate lxxvii (= 77). Jones’ original description of this plate from his “description of the plates” (page 9–15), transcribed literally, using jones’ orthography:
“from a painted china bottle. A composition in the fragmentary style. Pure chinese in character. ”
additional hints by commons users:
—
the image shows many little scratches, traces of dust etc.;many of these artifacts are already present in the reprint, and must originate either from the original chromolithographic print, or from the offset reproduction process which was needed to produce the reprint.
