I made a collage of all the photos from Shanghai And Amoy.
These are interesting to see from 1929. I guess they can be made larger by clicking on the picture. They can on my computer.
When I found them at the flea market, I bought them right away.
They even show beheadings . I have yet to make a study of this era
but what I did read about it was truly interesting.
I can imagine how the person who took these pictures lived during these times.
I mean, to be able to be there for the beheadings is something.

I loved the collage but the male prisoner kind of shocked me. have a great weekend!
The beheadings shocked me.
The heads were lying next to the bodies and people were standing around watching.
At first I thought they were buried to the neck but they were not. Agh!
This is a fascinating collage of your old photos.
These pictures were made during a very turbulent period of Chinese history. The beheading picture captured that turbulence very well, although I can't imagine how the photographer was able to get that picture.
What an amazing find!
George - Yes this is what I thought as well. I am sure they made a book out of these pictures. I just don't understand why they would throw the pictures away like this They should have been kept.Guess it was an estate sale.
I read some stuff on Amoy and could not believe what I was reading . So much was going on there no one seems to know anything about.
Mam Zen - Yes I thought so Sometimes things appear unexpectedly lol
Tough, tough times. Wow.
