Recherches sur les superstitions en Chine
A French Jesuit missionary's multi-volume study of Chinese popular religion, compiled by Henri Doré and printed by the Catholic mission press in Shanghai from 1911 for European scholars and clergy. Numbered figure plates show gods, generals and sages as full-length hand-coloured drawings in yellow, green and red robes, with Chinese name captions, armour scale patterns, streaming sashes and clouds or rockwork underfoot.
