RM2B01AK6–China: Two affluent Chinese women, one with a child, being pulled in rickshaws, Beijing, c. 1890.

The word rickshaw came from Asia, where they were mainly used as means of transportation for the social elite. In recent times the use of rickshaws has been discouraged or outlawed in many countries due to concern for the welfare of rickshaw workers.
RMP02DEW–. 'Archers', an April 1799 'pin-up' type print, engraved after a drawing by Adam Buck, and with a dedication to the Prince Regent.

For discussion of ca. 1800 'pin-up' prints, see image description page Image:1800-jumprope-pinup-Sophia-Western.jpg .

One of the earliest mass-produced editions to include woodblock-printed illustrations was this multivolume version, first published in about 1650. The Kyoto- and sometimes Edo-based Ya
