Story One Hundred and Forty · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Treasury Official

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: at midnight in the guest room of a post station, a seated official in a winged black gauze cap, round-collared robe and sword rests a hand on the hilt and looks gravely down at a white-bearded old clerk kneeling and bowing low with joined hands, while a lamp, teapot, offering box, screen, lattice window, travelling chest and brick floor fill the room.
