Published in a bilingual French-English edition, George Henry Mason’s The Costume of China reproduces sixty ethnographic engravings of Chinese people which cover men and women, ranging from officials to commoners, handicraftsmen to entertainers and hawkers to beggars alongside brief descriptions of their lives. This book provided a window onto daily life in China for a curious public in the 19th century. Mason also published another important publication entitled The punishments of China in 1801.
