Identifier

Jo01-22

Notes

University of Bristol – Historical Photographs of China reference number: Jo01-22. Gerald, left, Donald, right. This photograph was probably taken in Dairen. Another print (Jo01-01), which is not on HPC, is entitled 'Our Mascots'. The hard-to-read caption in the album is in pencil on a black page, and appears to be 'Jan 1928'. But it looks like the year has been corrected, also in pencil, to 'Jan 1929'. The boys are holding a Felix the Cat toy - and seem to be dressed up as Felix, with a bow tie (dickie bow)/cravat.
