Add.Or.5643-5677
3 Albums of Chinese Export paintings on pith paper framed with light blue silk. 1830s.
Purchased January 2007 from D.C. McDouall of Cambridge. The albums were acquired (circumstances unknown) by his father, Rev. Crichton Willoughby McDouall (1881-1966) while he was a missionary in China. Born in New Zealand, he arrived in China in 1908, and was employed by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel to run St. Saviour’s Anglican Church, Beijing. In 1942, when Beijing was invaded, he buried his possessions, including these albums. In 1945 he retrieved them, and brought them with him to the UK.
