 ;D Hi Richard  :o

Just had a google for Albert Sachs and it would seem that he and his brother, Gustave, were German and Albert was in Manningham Lane, Bradford in 1881.
Apparently Albert died in 1886.

Will have a look at the censuses in case they help further

He was born 1842/1843 in Germany and is a Photographer in 1871 but is visiting

That's odd
1881 his household address is 11 Brearton or Breastow Street Bradford and he has another Photographer brother, Oscar aged 28.

1871 ~ he's visiting Timothy Robinson (Photographer) and family in Thornton, Yorkshire
4 Hilltop Road


I'm no good at ages so over to China for that  ;)

Ummm the young lady certainly looks to be in a lot of dicomfort. I suspect that she either has a hunchback or the onset of Osteoporosis. This posture is also a indication of possible Rickets in early childhood.

Maybe the arms of the chair are a little too high and ? grandpa's sticking his elbow in her back

Oh yes it looks as if she has a cushion on the arm of the chair too

Is there any reference on the censuses to suggest any disabilities?
