This is an original 1935 halftone print of a landscape in China. The caption writes, "This is the land that supports the farmer that encourages the worm that spins the silk. In these crooked foothills the farmer lives on fish and fruit, but mostly on the rice he grows in his tiny, terraced fields. He feeds his silkworms on the leaves of the mulberry trees that flourish between and around his rice plantings..." Si Ling Chi (Leizu) was the first Empress of China (2640 BCE), and while observing silkworms in her garden, discovered how to process the thread of the cocoon into a new cloth. Photography by Burton Holmes.
