Weihsien, May '1945 Block-56, The Priest's
Shack
From David Beard:
"I put my art lessons in watercolour painting to good use and
did a number of paintings of Weihsien Camp during 1943-45. All the
others,
including one of the 'tingzi' (summer house) in front of Block 23,
I think
it was, have been lost, but this survived because I had given it to
Stanley
Nordmo as an illustration to go to publishers with a book draft he
prepared
after the war on Weihsien Camp. I gather Stanley couldn't get a publisher
to
take it on , but thanks to him, the picture has survived."
