• Title from front of item.
• Caption on back : "Coolie. Armed with a strong light bamboo from four to five feet long, and a few fathoms of cord, the Chinese coolie is one of a class whose importance to every day comfort is scarcely appreciated. The weight of baggage he will carry with safety--the carefulness with which bulky or fragile articles are for a small sum conveyed from place to place, and his ubiquitousness are great recommendations. Although it seems strange to say so--the Chinese coolie with all his unwashed faults is an undoubted luxury, and one which, if absent would be found to be like health or strength, a necessity."
• Photograph taken by John Thomson in Shanghai, 1870-72. (Source: Regine Thiriez, 2009)
