Quilts, pillows, woven goods, and embroidered linens are stacked against a wall with wooden barrels for shipping. This photo is from the papers of Emily Susan Hartwell, who was an American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions missionary stationed in Foochow, Fukien from 1884. These linens may have been prepared at the Christian Herald Industrial Mission that Hartwell started.
