Description

Photograph of a Chinese boy holding a round basket, Los Angeles, Chinatown, [s.d.]. The boy stands in overalls and a hat on the right with a large, round basket hanging from his left hand. His lightly-colored shirt sleeves do not reach his wrists and his tall shoes are decorated in great detail. He appears to stand along a wood-paneled sidewalk with a brick building in the background. What appear to be wooden benches sit along the brick wall behind him. The caption reads "'Chinese Boy, 'Ah Chee'".
