A worn, torn and frequently moisture stained photo album, 9.5 by 12 inches, from, I'm
guessing, 1880-1900. There's a ship christening, a sea voyage, a burial at sea
and then an arrival in China? Interesting to me are several pictures of a
hunting trip in Northern China? The locals wear straw on their shoulders for
cold protection? These pictures are obviously amateur but frequently quite
good. The only name I can see is on a four wheeled conveyance, in Chinese?
There are approximately 120 pictures, mostly 4 x 5. Most of the pictures have light
moisture "waving" and some are badly exposed.. Any help on translating the words on the conveyance would be appreciated.
