Written on the back of the photograph: " A typical mountain village. This was taken only two miles above our house. See the children under the banyan tree watching the foreigner taking the picture." Written on the front of the picture are the names of several Chinese persons and the phrase "by Gold." This photo is from the papers of the Edward Huntington Smith family, missionaries serving the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in China, 1901-1950, primarily in Ing Tai and Foochow [Fuzhou].
