Description
Annotation translation: "Photograph by Rev. Wunderli. The man lived a century ago as a taoist monk. His grave is revered. He has the reputation of being someone who can cause miracles, and is very popular. Note the brush and ink-bowl by the table, which can be used to paint noble signs, so that one can prepare paper." Annotation: "Aufnahme v. E. Wunderli. Der Mann lebte als taoist. Mönch vor 100 Jahren, nun wird sein Grab verehrt. Er gilt als wundertätiger Geist, der sich eines ungeheuren Zuspruches erfreut. Man beachte bei der Tafel die Pinsel & Tuschschale, welche gebraucht werden zum bestreichen der erhabenen Zeichen derselben, damit man dann einen Abklatsch von Papier anfertigen kann." Note translation: The reference to paper in the annotations is obscure to me (PJ 10/98).
