Very Fine Early Collection of Prints of Beijing Landmarks

This collection of prints is the finest and most detailed we have seen in a very long time and date from the late-1950's-early 1960's given the subject matter and distinguishing characteristics such as Chairman Mao's portrait. Each print has exceptional detail even when magnified several times and the ridges from the printing process can clearly be felt.
