Notes
Painted Asian people on small oblongs of bamboo pith. They are painted with heated paint with a small brush (perhaps only two or three hairs). The heated paint on the bamboo gives the raised effect that looks like embroidery.
Group of men in military uniform. Battery E, 213th Coast Artillery Division of the Pennsylvania National Guard at Camp Pendleton, Accomack County, Viriginia.
