From the descendants of the Hughes family. Patrick Hughes was British Consul General in Shanghai at this time. One of his duties was to entertain visiting Royalty, and this presented considerable problems as the accommodation was quite primitive. His brother Thomas was the Commissioner of Chinese Customs and also held the rank of a Chinese Mandarin. These photos came from his eldest daughter, Gladys, later Viscountess Sidmouth.
