Summary
| Description |
English:
Entitled: Six Strongmen In Traditional Dress, China [1909] W Purdom [RESTORED] Spot corrections, contrast and tonal adjustments; I also more clearly defined the faint mountain line in the background, and increased (doubled) the image size as the original was very small. This of course introduced a lot of jpeg magnification artifact that I then blended with uniform random noise.
William Purdom (1880-1921) was another explorer botanist that surveyed and collected northern Chinese flora along the Yellow River for three years, from 1909-1911; and in Tibet and Gansu, from 1914-1915. The original non-restored picture was discovered in Harvard University's Library Collection using their VIA (Visual Information Access) Search engine. It can be found with Record Identifier: olvwork270371. Other information included stated: "...Strong men at August games (Mongol). Photo by Wm. Purdom, 1909-1911. Weichang Xian , Hebei Sheng , China" (Note: located in today's 围场满族蒙古族自治县 , a ethnic autonomous county in Hebei bordering Inner Mongolia) |
