A Foochow detective. Photographer: Thomson, John

Full-length standing portrait: 'The gentleman represented...is known in the city of Foochow as the 'Ma-qui'—'swift as a horse,' and holds the subordinate position of detective officer attached to the magisterial establishment. I paid him a visit at his residence, and took his portrait in the central court. This man is reported to know the haunts of all the thieves in his district. He has been called 'the king of the thieves,' and he exercises an undoubted sway over the gangs that infest the city.'
