This album leaf is part of a section of the illustrations of costumes from the Qianlong court, Huangchao liqi tushi (“The Regulations for the Ceremonial Paraphernalia of the [Qing] Dynasty”). In total there are 34 folios that depict costumes appropriate for the Empress Dowager or Empress to wear at the imperial court along with short descriptive captions. This is the left leaf of one folio (attached to 2004.19.1.13) and it contains five columns of regular script calligraphy describing the regulations of summer court robe (chaopao), the second style for the empress dowager and empress. The text on this leaf continues from the text on the right side.

Translation of the Chinese text: "[continuing from the right leaf, 2004.19.1.1.13]... and has a slit at the back.The robe can be made of satin or gauze and unlined or lined according to the season. The rest of the design is similar to the first style of winter robe. The first-rank imperial consort will have the same design."
(Translated and transcribed by Lisa Claypool, Ed., China’s Imperial Modern: The Painter’s Craft, Edmonton, AB: University of Alberta Museums, 2012, p. 104; Modified by Isabel Pi-fen Chueh)
