Chinese Poster

[ollierust]

Hi, would someone mind translating this poster which my friend brought me back from China into English please? I'm not even sure that I have the orientation correct so any help would be appreciated! Cheers

The orientation is correct.

 

Main text: 自從出生以來 (read top to bottom, right to left) — Ever since birth

Left hand side: 戊戌年秋立峰書 — Written by Qiu Lifeng in wuxu year (e.g. 2018)

 

I can't read the script on the red seals though. Maybe someone else can help with those.

The large characters read 自从出生以来 which means "since the day I was born" or more literally, "since I was born"。

The smaller characters give a date, 戊戌年 which most recently fell in 2018, then it's signed, looks like 秋立峰 to me but then the stamp looks more like 陈立峰

秋 is then probably the season it was painted in. Autumn 2018.

Doh! Of course!

Looks a match from the calligraphy, but no seal.
