Description
-
A large group of children are assembled for a group portrait in the courtyard of the school in Luzhou. There are two Chinese men behind them. With few exceptions, both teachers and children wear changshan (scholar's gowns), some with trousers underneath. The girls appear to have natural feet, as that was a prerequisite to school attendance in both mission and government schools.
