在爱丁堡的苏格兰国家博物馆里，珍藏有前丹麦驻中国大使夫人安俳卢丹（Ann Paludan，1928-2014）在上世纪中叶拍摄的上万张中国雕塑的旧照片，被称为安俳卢丹中国历代雕塑图像馆（The Ann Paludan Image Library of Historical Chinese Sculptures）。

• Consisting of over 10,000 prints and slides of sculptures from over 200 sites in China, the Ann Paludan Image Library provides a unique source for the study of Chinese sculpture. Ann Paludan moved to Beijing in 1972, where she developed a life-long scholarly interest in Chinese sculpture. Over the course of the following decades, she published several books on the topic, notably The Imperial Ming Tombs (1981); The Chinese Spirit Road (1991); and Chinese Sculpture (2006). She donated the photographs taken for her research to National Museums Scotland in 2014. Now, with the generous support of her family, the prints and slides have been digitised and made available online for research and study purposes. Taken during repeated visits to China from the 1970s to the early 2000s, the photographic prints and slides document the changes, both natural and manmade, that cultural heritage sites underwent during the Cultural Revolution and the reform era. The photographed sculptures span the entire range of China’s sculptural tradition, from religious statuary, cliff carvings, and tomb statuary, to architectural features, dating from the Neolithic to the 20th century.

在这些诸多的图片中，有几张文革时的毛雕塑引人瞩目。两张是在郑州河南省博物院门口拍摄的，是砂页岩的：

两张是在洛阳东方红拖拉机厂院内拍摄的，是汉白玉的：

这两座雕像，不是最早的，也不是最好的，是那个时代的象征，至今仍然存在。
