A Woven Panorama on the Shanghai Bund c.1937

Posted: October 11th, 2022 | No Comments »

I know very little about this framed Chinese-made machine-weaved panorama of the Shanghai Bund. AS the Bank of China building is there (#23 Bund), the most recent construction on the Bund shown I think then this was made some time after the building’s completion in 1937. And that’s all I know…

(some additional information received later:

From George Godula in Shanghai – ‘These were mass-produced in the 30s as tourist souvenirs.’

From Helen Wang in London: For more, search for 老织锦画 丝织风景画 都锦生丝织厂 （Tu Chin Sheng / Du Jin’sheng Silk Factory) 启文丝织厂 （Qi Wen Silk Factory)

Many thanks to both George and Helen….
