Three old Chinese women and a man stand beside a dilapidated building. The woman holding the leaves is eighty-four years old and "laughed in glee at [the] prospect of having [her] picture snapped". Her son, standing behind her, owns a small fruit stand. This photo is from the papers of Emily Susan Hartwell, an American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions missionary stationed in Foochow, Fukien from 1884.
