Photographer: Mei Li Photo Studio, Peking; Kang-Sing Chiao, Peking. Views of the Summer Palace, Peking, China. 1900-1920. 5 vintage hand-colored gelatin silver prints. Circa 25 x 38 cm and reverse. 4 with photographer's studio stamp and some annotated in pencil on the verso.

This group of finely hand-colored prints offers sweeping views of the Summer Palace in Peking (Beijing), capturing pavilions, bridges, and lakeside scenes that reflect the site’s imperial splendor. Likely produced for the early 20th-century export market, the photographs stand out for their rich tonality and delicate hand-coloring. – Some prints with toning in edges, a few with small spots, otherwise in very good condition with fine hand-coloring.
