During his stay in China, Zhang Bolun and his son successively visited 13 provinces including Jiangsu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Sichuan, Henan, Zhili, Shanxi, and took more than 600 photos recording the social life of the late Qing Dynasty, which were later summarized into a photo album in 1909=“ http://www.laozhaopian5.com/jingdian/1891.html “target=”_ Blank “>Zhang Bolin’s Chinese Photography.

4月13日上午,考察团开始安排返程路线,可能是采购一些物品,罗林带着相机前往成都游览,这是罗林从存仁医院钟楼上向西拍摄的成都远景照片。照片右上这几处大型殿宇式建筑可能是陕西会馆和文庙。

罗林在钟楼上往东北方向拍摄,左上角可以看到贡院的大门与明远楼,右侧的民宅,此刻已是早晨,很多百姓家升起了炊烟,正是成都城的烟火气所在。

罗林来到了满城,之后再从这里前往成都的街巷。(满城是清朝初期平定三藩之乱后,满清八旗兵驻扎成都,当时采取满汉互不往来的政策,清朝政府于1718年在少城遗址上修建满族人居住的城中城。)

,满城的建筑比较稀落,从而在树林间,显得环境很好,罗林观察到满族妇女不缠脚,所以看起来比成都的汉族妇女优越。

满城内空旷的街道,两边都是独门大院,如同衰落的晚清,弥漫着颓废之气。

一条石块垒成的道路,在岁月的流逝下,早已高低不平,如今,满城留下的宽窄巷子,已经成都的重要历史街区。

从满城出来,罗林来到了一户人家的后院,可能是一处洗衣坊,地上有人在洗着衣物,还有人将洗好的长巾挂到高处晾晒。

成都皇城旁的一个街巷,两边房屋低矮,挑着筐的人与其他行人走在街道上。

成都皇城附近的一处街道,走过的挑夫,挑着水桶,头上戴着独特的帽子,后面打伞的人,一个是传统的油纸伞,另一人则是新式的洋伞。

东大街,那个“分售彩票处”,正是“奏办”牌坊下所拍,路上,大人牵着孩子走来,前方还有一个男孩回望着罗林,也仿佛与现在看此片的我们在对视。

罗林又拍摄了这座牌坊,“亿屡中”,只要运筹得当一定会成功,罗林恰好以这张照片结束了成都城的拍摄,而那背着重物的背夫,帽子挡住了阳光,无法看清他的脸庞,但那脚步很坚毅,牵着的孩子同样大踏步而来,这恰恰是面对生活,川人生生不息坚强有力的源泉所在。

考察团于1909年4月14日离开成都,前往彭山县江口镇登船。
