Rev. Robert Ewan on the Great Road

Title: Rev. Robert Ewan on the Great Road
Identifier: EFA_12
Description: Three "3 person chairs" with Mrs. Ewan and baby in front one, Robert Ewan standing at side of road and several "coolies" standing around, one with open umbrella. They are traversing the Great Road between Chongqing and Chengdu. The front carriers can be seen with their resting post down.
Commentary: The "3 person chair" refers to the number of carriers it takes to carry it, not the number of passengers it will hold, as typically these carry only one person at a time, not including babies.
