University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: Do01-38. Snaking through the spectators is a long dragon. This is probably the celebratory procession organized by Chinese guilds in 1887 to mark the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne. The parade on 9 November 1887 included two dragons, each carried by 180 bearers. A report can be found in the Chna Mail, 11 November 1887 (https://archive.org/details/NPCM18871111)
