Liste de vues à demander à Canton, 98.R.14-s1/repositories/3/archival_objects/1005201 between 1884 and 1900

Scope and Contents

The single sheet folded in half to create four pages contains an undated manuscript list with descriptions of 19 photographs of Canton that Prat wishes to acquire. At the end of the list he explains that they could be sold to residents of Canton or to "globe trotters" as souvenirs, and that he hopes to be the one to facilitate this. He also explains which photographs would be easy to obtain and which would require permission of the subjects represented, or in the case of number 17, the festival of the dragon boat, would need to be taken on a specific date, here "le 5me jour de le 5me lune."
