Lot details

China, 15th century.

She was the daughter of James Johnstone Keswick (1845-1914), who had resided in Japan, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. During his residence in China, James Keswick was one of the best known figures in the foreign community, in which he was nicknamed ‘James the bloody polite’.
