Description

From the typescript inventory: "Little Barley Corn is considered the best food in the Tribesmen's Region."

This is one of a set of black ink sketches made along the route of the Long March by one of its survivors. The artist used scraps of paper of different kinds, sizes, and colors--whatever was available. The drawings were presented to Nym Wales in Yenan in 1937. The sketches have been published in "Chang zheng hua ji" by Zhen Huang, a copy of which is available in the Hoover Library.
