China Historical Images is a commercial database that
claims
to be the biggest electronic depository of Chinese
historical images. The scope of the digital image

collection focuses on early (1896-1920) postcards of China
with the bulk back to the time of the late imprial (before
1911). It has stopped updating in 2004 and the 462 images
the site hosts are available to view and download.
