The man sitting in the prime frontal position appears to have a backwards collar and could be a man of the cloth. The Orientals in Western dress could be his missionary entourage or were they all emigrants? Don’t forget that at this time it was expensive to get a photographer out and produce a mounted photo of this quality so this picture commemorates a significant event in history.
