Recherches sur les superstitions en Chine
A French-language survey of Chinese popular religion and folk magic compiled by Jesuit missionary Henri Doré and printed by the Catholic mission press in Shanghai in 1911 for European readers. Numbered colour plates copy Chinese popular prints: gods of wealth and city walls holding court, spirits on scrolled clouds, robed figures in patterned silks, with flat bright colour, ink outlines and bilingual captions.
