content: This series features a broad collection of elaborate rubbings, charts and maps, the majority of which represent Bishop's tours throughout Northeastern China. The bronze Rubbings and A.J. Wenley Archaeological Sites maps are particularly complementary to their photographs equivalent found in Series 2. Many of the maps range in size from that of a standard letter to wall-covering, displaying ancient and early 20th century China and dynasties, Mongolia, and parts of Japan. Further study is available via maps of the FGA excavation sites, including Bishop's hand-drawn approximations of various burial mounds visited between 1925 and 1930.  There are also several drawings and rubbings by Bishop in this series.
