A Pekingese costermonger. Photographer: Thomson, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography (generic types)
Street scene in Beijing, showing a vegetable seller calling his wares: 'This man carries his shop on his shoulders; and we see him here informing the dwellers in a narrow lane that he has brought to their doors the choicest grapes of the season. When he succeeds in getting a customer, the latter accosts him, armed with a stick resembling a yard measure, but in reality a portable lever weighing-machine, and with this he secures his fair weight of the fruit. This rod is in common use all over the land, so that light weights are but little known there.'
