Text Appearing Before Image:
their wives, even on horseback ; and a splendid one, covered with jewels, was oneof the presents made to Kuyuk Kaan on his enthronement. With respect to the honorary character attaching to umbrellas in China, I maynotice that recently an English resident of Ningpo, on his departure for Europe, waspresented by the Chinese citizens, as a token of honour, with a pair of Wan mm sou,umbrellas of enormous size. The umbrella must have gone through some curious vicissitudes ; for at one timewe find it familiar, at a later date apparently unknown, and then reintroduced as somestrange novelty. Arrian speaks of the (TKiddia, or umbrellas, as used by all Indians ofany consideration ; but the thing of which he spoke was familiar to the use of Greekand Roman ladies, and many examples of it, borne by slaves behind their mistresses,are found on ancient vas2-paintings. Athenaeus quotes from Anacreon the descriptionof a beggar on horseback who like a woman bearsAn ivory parasol over his delicate head.1
