Back row, left to right: Émile-Laurent Lépissier, Edward Bangs Drew (Imperial Maritime Customs Service Commissioner in Ningpo), C. Le Bas Rickman. Middle row, left to right: William Marsh Cooper (British Consul), Mary Cooper, Mrs Hillier (Lydie Alston Hole), Anna Davis Drew. Front row, left to right: Frank James Smith, Walter Caine Hillier. 'Mrs Hillier' is Lydie Alston Hole, dating this photograph to between 1877 and 1878. The captioning under the print includes the date 1880 and mentions Hillier's knighthood (which was conferred in 1897), indicating that this captioning was added some time after the photograph was taken (and also suggests that the date 1880 might not be accurate). See Hv37-19.
