Those pics are great!
Wow, Damo, thanks for the great pictures. So at least we get photographs of Yuan Shih Kai trying to claim the Dragon throne.
I wonder how much did a set of those uniforms cost.
the uniforms seemed look like japanese or russian, but fine.

A good find, DaMo - thanks for sharing with us.
Geez, Yuan shik Kai looks very ummm....Stout. I guess emperors eat very well... :-D
Priceless. Great photos, Damo, I appreciate them more than others since I've seen a limited amount of photos of Yuan Shikai, since his rise to power was so brief (relative to Sun or Chiang).
Thanks,
Eric
Thanks,

Remarkable!
Thanks so much for these rare photographs.
Difficult to imagine plump Yuan Shekai in his leather riding trousers as the powerful man he once was . He definitely belongs to the ninenteenth century.
