Description
Photograph of laundry hanging from a river boat in China, ca.1900. The river boat is shown at left, partially out of the frame and headed to the right. A stout woman can be seen through the window in the side of the cabin, and scores of lightly-colored garments can be seen hanging from poles that extend over the water from the cabin's roof. Piled lumber and the masts of ships can be seen in the background.
