Albums showing Chinese production processes became popular during the 19th century and specific details of the present painting draw closely from the edition of the Gengzhi tu, 'Illustrations of Ploughing and Weaving' produced in woodblock print form by Jiao Bingzhen (1680-1720) following a commission by the Kangxi Emperor. Such albums often come in either twelve or twenty-four leaves and it is unusual to have twenty-four images dedicated to an individual theme.
