Topic: Funeral procession

Action: Gun-carrying soldiers wearing straw hat march in procession with their officers; they are probably the personal guard of the deceased. Following them are apparently offerings. A crowd watches on both sides. A steamer ship on the right and buildings on the left indicate the scene takes place along the Huangpu River in Shanghai.
