Caption

View of a forest path in China, photograph, annotation: 'China 1860s, A22', China, 1860 - 1870, photographer, paper, pasteboard, albumen print, height 345 mm x width 480 mm, forest path or lane, A narrow winding boardwalk path runs through a dense forest of tall, straight tree trunks with rough bark; many trunks lean at angles and closely spaced saplings and undergrowth fill the spaces between them. The canopy above shows clusters of needles and branches casting mottled shadows, and the forest floor along the path is covered with low vegetation and leaf litter. The image has a monochrome sepia tone and a soft, slightly faded quality, with darker areas where the foliage is denser and lighter sky glimpses visible through gaps in the trees.
