Description
"Don't be shocked at the nakedness of some of the "poseurs". It is certainly natural, and we are surrounded by such continually - that we get not to mind it much. This is a branching street (upper & lower), in the village of Thai Jong. Can you beat the "register interest & attention" attitude of the little girl in the foreground? Question: Could you break up an old auto here as easily as in a backyard in Danbury? I.K.F. From Abbie G. Sanderson, Thai Jong (via Swatow) China 1919." Abbie G. Sanderson is standing along an extremely narrow road as village children and two adults look on, Swatow [now Shantou], China.
