Photograph of a man and a woman having lunch on their combination house and cargo boat in China, ca.1900. A flat skiff is shown docked at center, with a stack of lumber behind it. At the center of the bow, the man and woman are serving themselves from a wok into their individual bowls. An earlier record reads "Rice and fish. The principal food of China lends itself to the easy life on the house boat"
