Summary
editDescriptionShanghai. A Chinese funeral (NYPL Hades-2359270-4043626).jpg |
English: * "A Chinese funeral. So strong is respect for the dead in China that a defaulting tenant has been known to delay indefinitely the funeral of his dearly departed to avoid ejectment. The funeral, for which a lucky day must be chisen, is an important and often pompous affair. Tinsel money is strewn to buy off malignant spirits, giant figures are borne in procession as well as chairs and beds and clothes and anything they conceive the departed may require in the shadowy world."--printed on verso. |

Licensing
editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
