• Title from front and back of item.
• Photograph taken by John Thomson in Shanghai, 1870-72. (Source: Regine Thiriez, 2009)
• Caption continues on back: This is one of those indescribable individuals often met with in the crowded streets of Shanghai. Whether he is an Astrologer, an Alchemist, a Doctor, a learned party, or simply a ruffian who gets behind a huge pair of iron spectacles to impose on the public, it is hard to say. The profession, mode of subsistence and place of abode of these spectacled gentry are alike a mystery--that, however they are picturesque figures for a photograph will readily be admitted.
• In album: Japanese and Chinese portraits, [p. 43, upper right].
