On January 4, 1909, an American geologist, Zhang Bolin, and his son, Luo Lin, set out from Chicago and arrived in Shanghai on February 2 of the same year. 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.

3月31日晨,考察团离开太和镇,罗林回忆走过了一英里左右的平原道路,然后开始走上山坡,他感觉景色与此前没有什么差异,因而显得很单调,中午抵达陈古塘(今射洪县陈古镇)吃午饭,片中是罗林离开某处村镇所拍,村民们好奇地目送他们离开。因为原图没有注明地点,判断可能是太和镇与观音桥之间的某地,不是陈古镇就是三台县景福镇

下午4时30分到5时15分,考察团的队伍陆续陆续到达观音桥(今三台县观桥镇,因镇外观音庙旁有座桥而得名),在观音桥的客栈内房门口,考察团在此留下珍贵的合影,从左起依次为:伯顿博士、托马斯·张柏林教授、比奇博士、王翻译、罗林·张柏林。

在观音桥,罗林拍摄的一处戏台的照片,传统的中国园林建筑,一棵造型优雅的大树枝叶繁茂,如同巨伞。

1909年4月1日晨间,考察团离开了观音桥,中午经过白树丫,下午4点30分抵达大桑墩(今中江县龙台镇),洋人的到来,在大桑墩引起了极大地轰动,得知消息的男女老少几乎都围了过来看稀奇,罗林也站在高处拍下了这张瞬间。

大桑墩的附近,罗林看到了村居与坟茔相邻,一个男孩站在麦田里,默默地看着走过的考察团队伍。

罗林在大桑墩的一处小路上,拍下了一个川人先辈挑着竹筐的背影,打着赤膊的汉子,皮肤黝黑,肌肉精壮,川人的坚韧之态可见一斑。

同样的位置,罗林给他父亲托马斯·张伯林与比奇博士拍摄了一张路上散步的合影

1909年4月2日7时零6分,考察团离开了大桑墩,中午到达兴隆场(今中江县兴隆镇)吃午饭,他们的轿夫将轿子停在了街道中间等候,罗林拍摄的这处空地上,当地人将砍来的柴草放在地上交易

在兴隆场的附近,罗林看到了村民们围成一团,只见几个铁匠正用土法熔炉炼铁打造农具。罗林的父亲老张柏林正认真地看着铁匠的动作,其他人也许是看这些远道来的外国人热闹。

在兴隆场的附近,罗林拍下了村口的一座牌坊,牌坊下是石板路的官道。这是一座《孝节》牌匾,左侧的牌匾是《岳峙》

兴隆场到金堂县之间的某处,罗林给考察团成员Horace G. Reed拍摄的照片,背后的房子里可以看到两个妇人。

同样的位置罗林也拍摄了一张单人照,仿佛是一个英俊的西部牛仔来到了古老的中国。

即将到达成都平原的最后高坡,罗林给王翻译拍了单人照,脚下的梯田因为海拔较高,不似此前地区的平整,而拍摄具体地点罗林没有注明,有可能在金堂县境内,只能期待熟悉当地的读者朋友们分析判断了。

考察团离开中江县境内后,于1909年4月2日下午4点多抵达赵家渡(今成都市金堂县城)。
