metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The paper addresses Qing dynasty albums containing illustrations and notes about ethnic
  groups of southwest China usually termed as Baimiaotu 百苗圖, or Miao albums, there are
  Miao albums illustrating ethnic groups of Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan, Hainan and Taiwan.
  Library of St Petesrburg State University holds four hand-painted albums — two on Yunnan,
  two on Guizhou. Over a hundred Miao albums are scattered across the world, with most valuable
  early editions, some with dates and prefaces, are housed in the Western museums and
  universities. The paper shows approaches to systematization of the albums showing Guizhou
  ethnic groups, including such criteria as number of pictures (usually either 82 or 40), the position
  of the picture and text, special features of pictures (human figures with or without background),
  some conclusions are based on the typology of albums housed in Guizhou, which
  was proposed by Chinese scholars. The paper discusses under what circumstances the number
  of pictures has increased from 40 to 82 at the turn of the 19th century, what sources on Guizhou
  were used for annotations. The paper compares illustrations and texts from two St Petersburg
  University albums and those from the US collections. Conclusion about necessity of deeper
  study of primary sources, which provided basis for Miao albums, e. g., local gazetteers, “Qing
  Imperial Illustrations of Tributary Peoples” (1761) etc. is made.
