https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/watch/a9751e19-a3b5-440e-bd9f-763d957911f9 Dating from WWII, this China travelogue narrated by Hugh James is a rarity, in that it is entirely in color. The film shows Peiping / Beijing, including street scenes, shots of the Forbidden City, and more. There are shots of native handicraft including the art of ivory at the 2:10 mark, jade work, a Cloisonné vase, making rugs from wool, and more. Modern clothing is shown, as well as a Chinese funeral. Shanghai is seen at the 7:30 mark, and the Yangtze River. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
