Elizabeth Keith, Outside the Hato Mon, Peking (Pre-Earthquake)

Notes: Scarce; blocks were lost in the 1923 Tokyo earthquake. Signed by the artist in black ink; and "EK" monogram in right corner. Miles Catalog number 1. Keith noted: "A marriage procession, led by the lantern bearers, is passing through the gate. In Peking, where there are no waterways, camel transport is a common sight." AN IMPORTANT, EARLY KEITH WORK, RARE IN THIS CONDITION.
