Story Two Hundred and Seventy · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Cattle Plague

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on a hot summer day under a big old tree beside a country path, a laughing farmer sitting against the trunk points at a sweating traveller on a rock, who fans himself with a large palm-leaf fan and tugs at the thick scarf round his head and neck, with grain fields, two oxen resting in the shade, low hills and thatched cottages behind them.
