China: A cartoon by  Friedrich Schiff from the 'Old Shanghai' of the 1930s.

An image by the Austrian artist Friedrich Schiff; who lived in Shanghai during the 1930s. His images exemplify the 'anything goes' atmosphere and indulgence amidst poverty that characterised Old Shanghai and which would soon be brought to an abrupt end by Japanese invasion (1937) and Communist revolution (1949).
