Mt. Omei Pilgrim in Backrack Huagar

Title: Mt. Omei Pilgrim in Backrack Huagar
Identifier: WFC_011
Description: A wealthy pilgrim to Mt. Omei rides down the ancient stone steps in a backrack huagar carried by a boy who seems to be smaller than his rider. Two small children follow a few steps behind. Corn fields flank the steps and tall trees are in the background.
Commentary: Katharine Willmott compiled at least two photo albums with blue brocade covers with similar images and captions. These ended up with Don and Dick, though we believe K made them for her mother and others "back home" sometime in the 1930s.
