Self description: [...] Most of the prints found on this site are reprints -
meaning that they were printed in modern times from wooden printing blocks
that were in use during the early part of the 20th century. The prints,
therefore, date from the 1980s and 90s, but they do accurately reflect much
older designs and themes. The prints originate with the traditional nianhua
printing centres of Yangjiabu in Shandong province, Zhuxianzhen in Henan,
Fengxiang in Shaanxi and Mianzhu in Sichuan. [...]
