Scope and Content

B/W photograph of two kids and a male in Chinese traditional clothing, attached on the board; placed in sleeve

Context

Per Doug Chan: the Chinese signage (which runs from right to left in the old style), reads 廣珍號珍珠玉器金銀首飾男女新衣蘇杭發客 and roughly translates "Guangzhen Pearl Jade Gold and Silver Jewelry Men's and Women's New Clothes Suzhou and Hangzhou". Looks like the merchant sold everything.
