A two-wheeled Chinese wooden cart
A black and white landscape photograph of a stationary, two-wheel Chinese wooden cart parked outside. The photograph has been taken side-on; the shaft ends point to the left of the image. Ropes forming a web are attached to these shafts. Its wheels are crafted with a decorative pattern. Tufts of grass are visible at the bottom right corner of the image, in the foreground. In the background, a wall recedes toward the right of the image, with several trees casting shadows on the wall. Original caption (typed, beneath the photograph): ‘An ancient Chinese cart at Shan-hai-kuan. Note the wheels'.
