| Content and context |
Photographs taken by Joseph Needham during the Northwest journey at the Buddhist temple caves at Chienfotung (Qianfodong) ??? and Tunhuang (Dunhuang) ???, Kansu (Gansu) province ???. Chronologically the roll comes last in the CFT sequence after CFT3. The roll of film had been cut into pieces and the order has been reconstructed from references in Dr. Needham's travel diary for the journey. Quite a number of the pictures are of mediocre or poor quality due to scratching and other damage to the negatives. |
