Framed Print of Foot-race at Canton by Coolies of the Military Train - sketched by our special artist and... 1858. Creator: Unknown
Foot-race at Canton by Coolies of the Military Train - sketched by our special artist and correspondent, 1858. On the Queen's birthday the English at Canton had a review in the morning, and wrestling matches, foot-races, &c. Among others, the coolies of the Bamboo Regiment (Military Train) had a run. This is the moment selected for the Sketch...The hill at the back is head-quarters'; the English flag has long ceased to fly there, but the French waves over Canton. Among the sports of the day was a pyramid formed by the coolies getting on each other's shoulders till they reached a certain height, when they revolved till they came down with a run. Opium-smokers are enjoying a few pipes, but do not appear to suffer from its effects, as will be seen by the face of our stout friend'. From Illustrated London News, 1858.
