Description

Photograph of an old woman standing outside the entrance to an ancient house in China, ca.1900. A chinese woman in an apron and quilted coat stands to the right of center, holding a cane in her right hand. Behind her, several children can be seen standing beneath the awning of the imposing one-story house in the background, whose tiled roof boasts three tiers over the wide, wooden door at center that appears to be the entrance.
