Recherches sur les superstitions en Chine
Henri Doré's Recherches sur les superstitions en Chine, issued by the Catholic mission press at Shanghai from 1911, catalogued Chinese popular religion for missionary and scholarly readers. Hand-colored lithographed plates copy folk devotional prints: robed deities seated on lotus thrones and green dragon-beasts above stylized water scrolls, with Chinese captions, flat color fills, and clean outlines suited to vector tracing.
