Subject:Chinese Art Photography Signature Help
Posted By: Russ Sun, Jan 13, 2019 IP: 2001:1970:54a2:f700:

Hi everyone,
I've got this Chinese photography that I need help with reading the signature.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Inscription in my reading,
梯田       - Terraced fields
公雄威撮 于桂林 - Taken by Gong Xiongwei in Guilin
一九八六年    - 1986
Seals,
雄威       - Xiongwei
単印       - Single print
I can`t read the last one in the right lower corner.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you for your reply, it's much appreciated!
I tried running the info you've provided me through different types of Google searches and it's hard to be certain about anything without ability to read Chinese... but could it possibly be (單雄威Don Hong-Oai 1929 – 2004)?

I took out the frame this image and it turned out to be a cutout from some calendar, not an actual photograph unfortunately. So the case is closed.
But thank you for looking into it and your help in any case!
Best.
Russ

You are right,
單雄威 - Shan Xiongwei or in Vietnamese Don Hong Oai
was the name of the photographer.
The 単印 seal reads only "the seal of Don (Shan)" not as I interpreted "Single print" . From the very individual signature I could read out only "公”
