This project, and another in which Morrison photographed Chinese furniture collected by westerners in China for a book Chinese household furniture (Harper & Brothers, New York, 1948), are examples of how Hedda worked with expatriate friends in Peking and contributed photographic prints to publishing projects that sought to make aspects of traditional Chinese culture better understood.
