Not on view

This view of a foreign shop interior includes a kitchen full of people preparing food. A Western butcher cuts a side of beef while a Japanese cook is busy at the stove. On the right, a Chinese merchant holds a bolt of fabric and watches with amusement as the Western shopkeeper tries to communicate in sign language with a Japanese client. An anchor, some books, and a large framed picture of an elephant are offered for sale.
