CommentsThis album is part of a collection of more than 500 images Michel de Maynard, a Franciscan missionary, took during his stay in Shanxi at the end of the Qing dynasty. Michel de Maynard was interested in daily life and he stopped to carefully observe the sorts of subjects that many individuals of his time simply walked by.  Many of his photographs featured groups of people, but he also stopped to document stretches of countryside, the ruins of old buildings and local religious scenes (both Buddhist and Daoist).  He also took some wonderful images that recorded China’s martial culture at an important moment of transition.
