Description
Photograph of four men dragging a cart loaded with logs, China, [s.d.]. Four men struggle pulling taut lengths of rope attached to a cart full of long timber, while several others supervise behind the cart. In the background, two wall-like two-story brick buildings can be seen, just behind the street on which the men can be seen. Other pedestrians are also evident. The men wear tunics, cloth boots, and baggy pants. An earlier record reads "Men are cheaper than horses".
