    What book are these pics from?

    Hello everybody,

    I have been trying to hunt down where these pictures originated from. It is possible they were in a more 'recent' English kung fu book but I believe their original origin was from a Chinese printed manual from the 1960s or so?

    Any help would be appreciated in finding the book title/author, etc.

    Thanks

    Thanks guys!

    I am confident at least some of those prints are originally from an older Chinese manual of some kind, possibly one of those Shaolin 72 arts type books. I just cant find it right now.

    I had a reprint of the book that I bought as a novelty item when I lived in Taipei. I still have it somewhere, probably in storage now. Unfortunately, I forget the title; I believe it was originally from the early 20th century. The reprint of the original had no English words or descriptions.
