  • An internal view of the 1980 Gallery Books hardcover edition of 'China' by Zheng Shifeng, Liu Shuyuan, and others. The open book features a stunning multi-page gatefold displaying a panoramic Chinese landscape painting of misty blue mountains and verdant valleys. The left page provides a detailed introduction to this self-portrait of the nation, capturing the scale and beauty of the world's most populous country.
  • The back cover of the oversized 1980 edition of 'China' by Zheng Shifeng and others. The full-bleed photographic cover depicts an ancient Buddhist rock-cut grotto with weathered stone statues of seated figures carved into a cliffside. The image captures the authentic vintage aging and monumental scale of Chinese cultural heritage sites like the Longmen or Yungang Grottoes.
  • Side-angle view of the oversized volume 'China' resting on a grey surface. The screen captures the bold title and Gallery Books branding on the spine, reflecting the high-quality production of the late 20th century. The layout emphasizes the artistic and cultural significance of the Buddhist imagery featured on the dust jacket.
