Title:
[Identification photographs of Chinese men from the Owens & Moore company cashbook]Abstract:
Photographic portraits of unidentified Chinese men and boys in traditional attire, most of which are copy photographs of original
prints, perhaps cartes de visite, mounted in albums. Also includes photocopies of 2 pages (365-366) of the Owens & Moore Company
cashbook, one dated 1909 with the heading: Chinese circuit court; the other: U.S. Post Office. Entries written on these pages
correspond to brief annotations on the backs of photographs. Any relation of the photographs and/or the unnamed photography
business represented by these cashbook entries, to the original Owens & Moore Company (a grocery business) is unknown.
