Description: "Guns the Chinese have for protection. Tzechow. West-China. Guns for defense against Boxers on wall of Tzechow - 1902-1904. F.B.M's [Florence B. Manly] note above. Probably mistaken. The guns are vintage, but I think this is one of the photos WEM tood at the time of the 1911-12 revolution." Soldiers are shown with mounted guns, behind a stone wall. The large guns are suppported by wooden stool-like structures that are movable.
