Description
Photograph of vendors carrying straw sandals in China, ca.1900. The men, pictured at center, are dressed in pants and tunics and are facing each other. Each man has a board slung over his shoulder from which hang the straw sandals, although the man farthest back has lashed his sandals to his board, rather than let them dangle. In the background, a steam-ship can be seen at port, while to the left, a third man pushes a cart loaded with a filled wicker basket.
