Description
The photograph is from an album entitled "Chinesisch-indische Reise", made by Wilhelm Preiswerk (member of the committee) and Inspector Theodor Oehler in 1888-1889. Wilhelm Preiswerk and Theodor Oehler bought the pictures from professional photo studios on this trip. This means that the date of origin of the image cannot be clearly determined as 1888/1889. It is possible that the picture was taken several years earlier, but it is not possible to say exactly when.
