Title	Yunnan (China), view through an oiled paper window
Caption	Yunnan Province, China 1943 - 1945
Part of Set	1943-1945 Bert Krawczyk Photos of China during World War II
Date of Photograph	ca. 1943-1945
Photographer's Note	This view is from the inside of a restaurant. The windows were made of oil paper that was held between wood window frames. If you look closely you can see the streaks in the oil paper. It was almost transparent and had a yellowish color. The street outside was in the town outskirts. There was no translation available of the large Chinese lettering in the sign on the far building. The ox cart is pulled along by the water buffalo. The lorry is probably being guarded by the soldier because of military supplies. Trees are unique with their odd shapes and leaf patterns.
