Description:

View of a street in Zhangjiakou, China (formerly known as Kalgan), busy with people and animals. Clothes sellers display their goods on a platform and give sales pitches to passers-by.


This illustration was made from the writings of Catherine de Bourboulon, who left diaries and other documents detailing her travels in Asia, where she spent several years with her husband.

The caption reads in the original french: La rue des marchands d'habits, à Kalgan.
