Joy,
What a great hint. Looking at the picture post card, the driver was wearing
what looks like a shallow salad bowl type hat. A large round off white hat.
He had on a cape type coat with length several inches from the knee, tight
pants and no shoes. The picture was taken October 1, 1910. The rickshaw
had large wheels and apparently only held one person. My great grandfather
is in one and my step grandmother in another, they were side by side. The
rickshaw looks as though a horse could be pulling it instead of a person.
Many thanks for the hint. What do you think ?
Leta
