China: An image from 'Shanghai Manhua' (Shanghai Sketch) entitled 'Fascination' shows an elabotrately bejewelled and dressed female socialite holding a cigarette holder in one hand and a submissive, supplicant male in the other (June 1928).

The pictorial 'Shanghai Manhua' (Shanghai Sketch), published between April 21, 1928 and June 7, 1930, was a mixture of drawings, photographs and images ranging from advertisements to social criticism and political caricatures. Shanghai Manhua was an outlet for professional cartoonists and sketch masters, generally of an avant garde or progressive nature. Many of the images printed in 'Shanghai Manhua' are observations of urban life in contemporaneous Shanghai, as well as often critical comment on the social mores of the time.
