Story One Hundred and Seventy-One · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Little Man

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on a daytime market street of a county town, a travelling showman crouches beside a small wooden box on a low stool and lifts its lid, a tiny scholar-boy stands singing on the open box, while a smiling townsman bends to drop a coin and a small child on tiptoe points in wonder, with shopfronts, a lantern, a willow and a distant archway behind.
