The left half of the sketch of the seated rickshaw puller and the pedestrian with the umbrella is from a photo. The photo was taken outside the Chinese Methodist Church in Wanchai.

Well spotted, Moddsey.  The sketch looks very much like a composite one made up by copying parts of two different photographs. The nearer rickshaw and man  have been drawn smaller than the one on the left, when they should appear quite a bit larger.
