China: The street of traditional pharmacologists, Hong Kong. Photo by John Thomson (14 June 1837 - 29 September 1921), 1870. 'The streets of a Chinese city differ greatly from those of Europe, and are always extremely narrow, except at Nankin and Peking. They are paved crosswise with slabs of stone, usually worn down by the traffic to a hollow in the centre of the path, and this disagreeable substitute for the gutters of European throughfares forms the only means by which the rain-water is carried off' [from caption].
