Another great picture Randy. I think it maybe just me but Li Han certainly does remind me of Peter Sellers

Li Han like Dr. Fu Manchu was a master of disguise

"On His Way"

"Den of Iniquity"


Among Mr. Han's enterprises were a number of opium dens located throughout the city. Here deals were made while others dreamed. It is rumored that these "dens of iniquity" served as meeting places for those who wished to see the Westerners and their gunboats driven from China.

"Yankee Go Home!!!"

An explosion and fire have ravaged the home of an American businessman in Hong Kong's Western compound. Members of the naval garrison whose duties include the protection of American citizens in China have been sent to investigate. Fortunately no one was home at the time but everyone's nerves are understandably on edge.

"A Bird in Hand..."

Outside the charred ruins of the American businessman's residence, Chou Shen (周・沈) known as "the birdman" because of his profession as a seller of birds and birds' eggs chats with a member of the Shore Patrol. The word on the street is that Shen is Li Han's major source of information on what the Americans are doing and thinking in 1920s Hong Kong.

Who said this would be a very limiting range?! I love the buildings and the storyline!
Can we get Peter Sellers' nose melting in the castle with Dreyfus?

Thanks Mike & Scott

I'm just an image junkie who wakes up with a scenic idea and then scrounges around the web for the right photo. After finding a picture with a Chinese wall plastered with posters I discovered a web site with 1920s Chinese advertising posters like the cigarette girl and printed her out and pasted her on the wall.

Part of my job as an art librarian was helping art students find appropriate images for their projects. So really I've never retired

"Sanctuary"

Captain Harbison's meeting with a prominent member of the Chinese community led to information that two of the men responsible for the recent explosion and fire in the American section of the Western compound were hiding in a local temple. A naval patrol was quickly dispatched to find out.
