Description
Two Chinese men use a bridge consisting of a series of man-made stepping stones to cross a river. They are both carrying baskets. One of them has what appears to be a walking stick. Mountains dominate the background.
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].
