A Chinese street lined with buildings in traditional Chinese architectural style

An uncaptioned black and white landscape photograph showing a Chinese street lined with buildings in traditional Chinese architectural style on both sides, one row receding toward the left of the image. The six Chinese characters on a sign on the left side of the street in the foreground display the brand name of an ointment. A sign is also visible on the balcony of the first building on the right of the image; Chinese characters read “Teahouse,” indicating a place where tea and dim sum are served. In the foreground, a man with his head down walks alongside a boy. Behind them, an operator wearing a hat and a long-sleeved shirt is pulling a rickshaw away from the camera. About five more rickshaws are visible further down the street. Two pedestrians are holding up an umbrella, and various others are visible walking along the street.
