Magic Lantern slide circa 1900 hand coloured. The land of the pigtails. A Visit of State.—-Here we have an illustration of a Chinese gentleman who is paying his morning visits. He goes about, not in a carriage and horses, of which there are very few in China, as the streets are so narrow they will not permit of any ordinary traffic, but he is carried about in a little shut-up box, very much like the old-fashioned Sedan chairs used in England many years ago. He simply alights from his carriage or box, makes his bow to the gentleman of the house, who is waiting to receive him, and then gets into his box and makes his way to his next calling place.
