Description

A snapshot of a Chinese woman, Los Angeles, ca. 1922. The image shows the woman wearing traditional Chinese clothing, including an elaborately embroidered jacket, black trousers with an embroidered band below the knee, and slippers. She also has decorative pieces in her hair at her right ear. She stands in an area with a lawn and bushes, perhaps a park. With album paper residue on the reverse and mild edge rubbing, the condition is good overall.
