Notes

University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: Fr01-047. Note the uncut fingernails on the Hopchun's left hand, signifying that he did not do manual work. Fr01-047 is a detail from Fr01-046. Photograph very tentatively attributed to Lai Fong (Afong Studio), as suggested by the number written in pencil on the album page (30). See the Lai Fong (Afong Studio) number lists in History of Photography in China, Chinese Photographers 1844-1879 by Terry Bennett (Quaritch 2013), page 312. Hopchun is also in Fr01-117.
