DescriptionIn this studio photograph, staged in front of a painted backdrop, the models here are re-enacting a country scene and a mode of transportation. Here a young lady is shown being carried, in a kago or traveling chair, by two porters. On a hot summer day the men would be lightly clothed, as shown. The girl is wearing the long sleeved kimono of a young single lady. The men rest on poles to keep steady for the photographer to capture the image.Status
