Travel back to the enchanting Hong Kong street scene in the 1890s, where C016/4499 captures a snapshot of daily life. A side view of a Bangladeshi rickshaw showcases its unique design and craftsmanship, reflecting the cultural diversity embedded within this form of transport. Venturing further south to Colombo, Sri Lanka, one cannot miss the majestic Galle Face Hotel standing tall against time. This grand establishment has welcomed many weary travelers arriving by rickshaw from distant lands.
