The Central Asiatic Expeditions : Peking
Collection
Identifier: Film Collection no. 150

Filmed during the AMNH Third Asiatic Expedition to China and Mongolia, 1921-1930.

Because of the need to conserve film, this film is choppy, but provides a record of the city in the 1920s. The varied modes of transport are shown: trolleys, ox carts, sedan chairs, rickshaws, camels, wheelbarrows, horsedrawn...
