Full film record shot in Wuhu, China, ca. 1928-1929, by Episcopal medical missionary Harry B. Taylor, MD. Film records daily life in an American missionary community (Episcopal Diocese of Wuhu renamed the Diocese of Anking) for promotional and fundraising purposes. Depicted are a range of daily activities, largely documenting the local hospital and surrounding town. Footage documents both patients and caretakers at the local hospital; a town parade; agricultural activities; a wedding; and the Taylors' home life. Of note are several group and individual portraits, both casual and formal, depicting a range of local personalities.
