Notes
University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: PF01-38. Photograph by John Thomson. Scratched on the negative: "(R. Min) saved from the wreck at na[...]". The man standing might be Thomson's photography assistant. On the right are chests and, it seems, a pile of wire-framed glass plate holders, for developing, fixing or washing negatives. See a scan of Thomson's negative (Wellcome Collection ref: 18816i).
