Chinese funeral in Kowloon. Photograph by Rev. Weickum, Fopin. The seat of the spirit with a photograph of the deceased is carried past. The wreaths are probably an idea borrowed from the Europeans Chinesische Beerdigung in Kowloon. Aufgenommen von Miss. Weickum, Fopin. Der Geistersitz mit der Photographie des Toten wird nachgetragen. - Die Kränze sind wohl von den Europäern abgeschaut
