A similar gauze pu fu can be seen in a black and white photograph reproduced by Verity Wilson in Chinese Dress, Victoria and Albert Museum, 1986, p. 13, no. 3. The robe is worn by Edward Brennan, a Deputy Commissioner in the Imperial Chinese Maritime Customs, who although a Westerner, 'was granted the right to wear the insignia of the First Class of the Third Division of the Imperial Chinese Order of the Double Dragon on 18 December 1908'. For other examples of civil official's pu fu, see Gary Dickinson and Linda Wrigglesworth, Imperial Wardrobe, London, 1990, pls. 107-110, 112, 114, 115; and another included in the exhibition, Secret Splendors of the Chinese Court, Qing Dynasty Costume from the Charlotte Hill Grant Collection, Denver Art Museum, December 30, 1981-March 21, 1982, illustrated in the Catalogue, p. 8
