Kiang Ho arrived at Ichang arrived Ichang December 19th." and the verso: "H.M.S. Kinsha at Ichang."

Ranging from largest: 25.2 x 20.8 cm. smallest: 19.3 x 26.4 cm. . Color photos are posted to our website. . CONDITION: These are original glossy photographs each gently laid down some edges not fastened firmly a couple of loose or folds on edges. All clean vivid good focus no obvious fading a couple of the usual and typical less than perfect 'development' spots. By and large an excellent group of photographs developed most likely in China a souvenir of a foreign person's trip 1900down the river. Far and above the average photograph quality of this early period. . RARITY: Original early dated photos of the Yangtze river are RARE and seldom found during this period. Even rarer are photographs with captions and dates. Nicely done fascinating work. . . unknown
