Image description

A man throws water from a bucket onto the road, probably to control surface dust. Behind him, to the left, is the London Mission building, Beijing. Original manuscript caption: Watering the roadway - London Mission Building to left. The London Mission Building in Beijing was largely destroyed in 1900 so the location of this photo is a mystery as the page to which it is fixed is headed "Peking".
