Description
This 1897 photograph shows three rickshaws, bearing a man and two women, with their drivers. It was taken in Kyoto, Japan.

The people in the photo are unidentified, but it comes from a collection of photos of families related to the Baird family of Paris, including the Baird, Bunnell and Foley families.
Notes
Travel to Japan was extremely difficult and expensive at this time, as would have been the production of a photograph this large and detailed.
