This listing is for an antique Chinese 'Double-Ninth Festival' poetry silk print from October of 1929. It measures about 10-1/2" tall, 26" wide and is well preserved in a just slightly large wooden frame. The print does have some very minor staining. Please see the detailed photos below and let us know if you have any questions. The poem reads as follows:
*(4) The 'Double-Ninth' Festival, After the tzu 'Tsai Sang Tzu':
How quickly men age! not so the skies
That year by year guve them a 'Double-Ninth';
Now again upon them the 'Double-Ninth',
When Yellow Flowers on battlefields seem wonderfully sweet.
Once a year in autumn the winds blow fierce,
Unlike the spring day;
Yet better than the spring day
As sea and sky and overall frost infinitely meet.
October 1929*
