This photograph depicts a man from the Qing Dynasty taking a picture with his brother, dressed in satin clothes, presumably also the home of an official eunuch, who, although simple, reveals a low profile and luxury. It's just that this scene should have been taken in a corner of the Forbidden City, and I don't know if the photographer is also a foreigner.
This photo shows the Qing Dynasty Yamen beating the prisoner's board, they take off his pants and hold his legs, not allowing him to move a little, and the people next to him hit him hard with the board. In fact, this is also a relatively light punishment during the Qing Dynasty, and the heavier punishment is really unbearable, and this is only a flesh and skin injury, but if the hand is heavy, it will still hurt the bones.
This photo is of the last emperor Puyi and Wanrong, playing in the Forbidden City, Puyi is still fiddling with a camera in his hand, and Wanrong is looking at that side and does not know what he is thinking, at this time they are still very green, completely unaware of the dangers outside. Moreover, their feelings at this time were not bad, and by the time of the puppet Manchukuo, they had already separated from each other.
This photo shows two caravans carrying a palanquin, they look very simple, should be honest people. And the palanquin they carried, there must be no such sitting people, pitch black, I don't know who wants to sit on such a palanquin, it is too small. But in that era, having a palanquin was already a very good treatment, and they should be the people who were going to pick up the palanquin.
This photograph shows a small child picking up garbage, and he seems to be holding a long braid that he did not know where to pick up, so it can be inferred that he must have just come from a barber, and children always like to pick up all kinds of strange things as toys, and the same was true in the Qing Dynasty.
