Description
"Travel by wheelbarrow was very common in the old days in China. Sometimes half of the barrow carried luggage, or even a squealing pig. No horn was needed to clear the way: the wheel provided its own noise."
Captions for this set of lantern slides from the papers of Oliver and Jennie Logan, American Presbyterian missionaries in Hunan, were provided by their daughter Elsa.
