500        |a Ten fashionably dressed women accompanied by their attendants are shown in a garden setting. They are engaged in leisurely activities such as playing music, reading, boating on the lake. Their names alluding to flowers, treasures and fragrances are typical of those adopted by many courtesans, and in this print some names are rendered as Golden Little Treasure, Blessing Like Spring, Peaceful Fragrant Orchid, etc. In those days the courtesan community of Shanghai provided men of the upper classes with entertainment. These courtesans were cultivated in poetry, painting, music and calligraphy. Although usually separated from respectable society, some of them did gain certain notoriety. It goes without saying that the most notorious courtesans would appear in publications displaying their talents. An early example of this practice is the Hundred beauties of Nanjing published by Li Yunxiang in 1618. Graphic representation of famous beauties, however, only became popular during the middle of the eighteenth century. As can be expected the city of Suzhou counted many printers who engraved pictures of local beauties. After Suzhou declined as a printing centre and many of them left for Shanghai, the Suzhou printers naturally continued this tradition once settled in their new environment.
