The presence of military personnel further adds to the historical context of this photograph, hinting at the societal dynamics and power structures of that period.
The straw hats worn by pedestrians walking alongside the sedan-chairs serve as a reminder of the fashion trends prevalent during that time. Every detail in this image tells a story - from the carefully landscaped gardens to the elaborate accessories adorning each chair.
