Collection of 476 lantern slides, 534 negatives and 519 prints of traditional Chinese architecture and construction methods from the personal collection of Liang Sicheng (1901-1972), visiting professor at the Yale School of Architecture ca. 1947. The lantern slides were made in June 1947 for the use of Liang Sicheng, and are labeled and cataloged in English (Wade-Giles Romanization). Note: Lantern slides shot from negative numbers 25180 and 25182 are destroyed. In response to the research interests of Wu King-lui and Wilma Fairbank, prints were shot from the lantern slide negatives in 1978-1979 (one set for Yale, one set for the Harvard-Yenching Institute, and one set for Tsinghua University where Liang Sicheng had established a School of Architecture in 1946.) Note: The total number of prints shot is written on the front of each print envelope. Accompanying materials include: 1) Photocopy of an inventory of the lantern slide collection, compiled by Wilma Fairbank and dated November 1, 1978; 2) Photocopies of the lantern slides from 1978; 3) Photocopies of architectural drawing illustrations from a Chinese-language manuscript by Liang Sicheng.
