Western Woman Riding in a Rickshaw with Chinese Puller, Treaty Port China
A Western visitor rides in a decorative rickshaw pulled by a Chinese laborer in front of a colonial-style building, a common everyday scene in China's foreign concessions during the late 1930s. Rickshaws were the primary mode of short-distance transport for foreign residents in treaty-port cities, and images like this one were popular souvenirs documenting travelers' experiences abroad during a turbulent period in Chinese history.
