Description
Photograph of a man in a military police uniform standing in front of a bicycle shop in Shanghai, ca.1900. The man stands at center, dressed in a mid-toned (gray) uniform that appears to be made of wool, his hands tucked behind his back and a pair of gloves draped over the belt of his tunic. He wears western shoes. To his left, a barefooted man wears an apron and has curled his braid of hair on his head. In the background, men can be seen working in the bicycle shop. A small child is partially visible to the right.
