Description
English:
Six street scenes of early Chinatown, ca.1900
Photograph of 6 street scenes of Chinatown on the Chinese New Year showing groups of men or women walking in the street, all in traditional Chinese dress. From upper right clockwise: Three women cover their mouths with handkerchiefs as they walk to the left in a line in front of a few people; a little boy trails behind; a 2-story brick building (sign reads "Hing Lung") with a 2nd-story balcony is visible behind. One woman followed by three other women all walk to the left with their heads bowed; several people stand on the porch of a 2-story brick building with a 2nd-story balcony in the background. A man walks toward the camera on the sidewalk with a few people just behind him; an awning hangs from the brick building in the background. About 8 Chinese spectators (some with long pigtails) stand on the sidewalk beside a brick building. Three men walk in front of a brick building with a covered porch. Two women (one has her handkerchief at her mouth) stand to the right of two male spectators on the sidewalk near a brick building (at right).
