For quite a long time, I confess I’ve been haunted by the mysterious image of a Chinese Equestrienne painted in the early 1920’s by Zhiying Studios in Shanghai as a promotion for PairBelles Cigarettes (from “Pair Of Belles”, also known throughout China back then as “Two Beauties Brand”). Back in the days when Shanghai was known as “The Paris of the East” as a hustling, bustling hub of commerce, this wondrous work of art selling tobacco products was commissioned and I have I found the subject matter most fascinating and compelling.

Coyly posed model, and curious kitten, dominate this early 1930's Chinese calendar card promotion for "Golf" Brand Cigarettes, depicting a woman golfer in full swing on cigarette pack.

Recently you featured an interesting vintage poster from China. Anybody interested in viewing and entire collection, 100% Digitally Reborn!

Showcasing a very unique virtual online museum, the ’World's Largest Collection of Digitally Restored Vintage Advertising Posters’, originating from Japan, China and Manchukuo, 1920's-1930's, a body of work that took more than 14 months and 5,000 unpaid hours to complete. Most of these originals are by now extinct, and only exist in restored digital format, so this effort represents a one-person crusade to rescue these wonderful works of art for the enjoyment and education of future art lovers everywhere.

Okinawa Soba posted a fascinating flickr set of 3D stereoviews of old Japan.

Almos 60 of the stereoviews in this set were photographed by Japanese photographer T. ENAMI [His self-portrait in Japanese Armor is the face of my flickr Icon]. The rest are divided up mostly among works by HERBERT PONTING, HENRY STROHMEYER, AND JULIAN COCHRANE. A few other 3-D photographers from both Japan and abroad are also represented here.

Most of the views were taken during the years 1895 to 1910, with the majority taken ca.1898-1905.
