I can't find it at the moment, but afew years ago someone uploaded several sketches done by a relative and one of them was based on this image.

Dear Kesayian

 

Did you take this photo by yourself? I am currently working on a project about sedan chairs and am looking for photos and videos of them. Do you have more? If im allowed to use, who should i credit to? Thxx

I found this photo postcard at an estate sale a few years ago. It’s the only one of a sedan chair. Yes, please feel free to use it.
