Title: Luchow Female Students with Missionary Teachers
Caption: Luchow Students, 1911; On back of postcard: "More girls from girls school, Luchow. These snaps of the schools are not good but are all I have at present. When the snaps were taken the light was terrific."
Identifier: JGFA_010
Description: A group portrait of missionary women school teachers with two rows of female students, one standing and another seated. Taken on a lawn in front of a brick wall. The missionaries all wear versions of pith helmets with shirtwaists and skirts. The children mostly wear scholars' gowns (AKA changshan and qipao), indicating their status as students. They all have their hair dressed in traditional female styles.
Commentary: Gordon Jones had a degree in engineering from the University of Toronto. Accordingly, the Canadian Methodist Mission assigned him to building hospitals and schools in four different stations between 1910-1913, when he was reassigned to The Canadian Business Agency in Chongqing.
