    Sun Tong Lee's Sydney Branch Store, Gulgong, 1870 - 1875, by American & Australasian Photographic Company, courtesy of State Library of New South Wales - Mitchell Library.

Title
Sun Tong Lee General Store, Gulgong
Description

One well dressed man who appears to be Chinese stands out the front of the store. There is also a bearded western man and two girls. Western furniture (chest of drawers) and a rug are on display outside the shop.

Date
1870 - 1875
Place
Australia - New South Wales - Gulgong
Interpretive description

The link between the well dressed Chinese man standing outside the store and the portrait of Ah Lee is not convincing on a visual basis. While it could be the same man, the man infront of the store does not appear to have a moustache.
