Views of China are now getting silly
prices in auction. Even curved mounts make good money. Early views such
as those from the Views of China series by the Swiss photographer Pierre
Joseph Rossier are now over $300 each and much more for the rarer views.
All of which is academic as they can't be found anyway.
