A Chinese official and a company on a river

This image shows on the bottom right a man, who is being carried while someone kneels in front of him. According to the text below, the man being carried is a ‘Mandarin’, a Chinese official. In the background we see a company that is enjoying themselves while a woman is paddling the boat. In the background is a hilly landscape.

The texts under the image read: “Manner in which the mandarins which form the principle government are carried and leisure in the rivers”.
