This square-shaped advertising paper from the Republic of China era, featuring the Shanghai-based gold and silver shop Jincheng Dàyínlóu, serves as a window into the past. The slightly yellowed paper bears the marks of time, with every inch imbued with the passage of years. That yellowing is not a symbol of decay, but rather the carefully crafted backdrop of time, soft and smooth, reminiscent of the sunlight in the alleys of old Shanghai. A single touch transports one back to that era of tumultuous change and endless charm.
