1910s Chinese nudes and 1800s Formosa farmers

Danwei (which I think is still rather annoyingly blocked in mainland China – or at least was on Monday when I departed for Taiwan) has links to some photos of early Chinese nudes, either drawings or pictures of posing models from the early 1910s to the late 1940s.  There’s also a link to some early photos of Taiwan from a collection called the Souvenirs de Formose et des ÃŽles Pescadores (Ogawa, Tokyo 1896). Click here for Danwei or to circumvent the pathetic tantrums of the net nanny here for the nudes and here for the early Taiwan pics. Both sets of pictures have been uploaded by Thomas H Hahn who Idon’t know but looks like an interesting guy judging by his website and more power to him.
