Paintings and Calligraphy of Professor Jao Tsung-i (set of seven)
Our scan only shows the first of seven cards in this (unused) set, because it’s still in the original cellowrap and we’ve not opened it.

Rickshaws
From a series of unused cards that don’t have captions. Because we live here in Hong Kong, we have filled in some of the gaps to let you know where the pictures were taken. The local Government stopped issuing rickshaw licenses some years ago, and allowed the existing (old man) holders to serve out their time. So where did the rickshaws go? These two were parked out near the City Hall Carpark for years, for sale. But who could buy them? Almost no flats are big enough to put one. Grade: 1

From a series of unused cards that don’t have captions. Because we live here in Hong Kong, we have filled in some of the gaps to let you know where the pictures were taken.
