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

The Yamen Runners

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on a moonlit night in front of a small wine shop beside a temple wall, a bearded shopkeeper in an apron ladles wine from a large jar into a bottle held out by a smiling runner in a dark cap who carries a string of copper coins, with a hanging lantern, shelves of jars, a bench and a studded gate behind them.
