Paul Pelliot, French orientalist, archaeologist and Silk Road excavator, photographed by Charles Nouette sits with Yang Jinbang, the military mandarin of Hami and Liu Runtong, the civil mandarin of Hami, together with their escort. Like his contemporaries Sir Aurel Stein, Albert Von Le Coq, and others, Paul Pelliot (May 28, 1878–October 26, 1945) earned the continuing oppobrium of the Chinese for what is widely considered to have been the 'looting' of Chinese antiquities. He was, nevertheless, an outstanding Sinologist and scholar.
