Sheet merchant and shoe maker sitting on the docks in China, ca.1900

Photograph of a sheet merchant and shoe maker sitting on the docks in China, ca.1900. The merchant is pictured at center, sitting on a short stool with his tools in front of him. A rag is draped over his knee and he is wearing a thick jacket and a hat. Timber can be seen piled by the side of a building over the tops of boats.

该照片拍摄于约1900年的中国码头，画面中一名床单商贩与一名鞋匠正坐于码头。商贩位于画面中央，坐在矮凳上，身前摆放着自己的工具；一块破布搭在其膝头，身着厚外套，头戴帽子。画面中还可见一栋建筑旁堆放着木材，木材堆的高度盖过了停靠的船只。
