This is a fully illustrated translation of a "Miao album"an imperial Chinese genre originating in the 18th century that used prose, poetry, and detailed illustrations to represent minority ethnic groups living in frontier regions under Chinese administrative control. These bound collections of hand-painted illustrations and handwritten text contain valuable information for anthropologists, geographers, and historians, and also are coveted by art collectors for their beautiful imagery.
