Les "pouss pouss" means rickshaw in French. This postcard shows the rickshaws and pullers at 1914 Lyon Exhibition Internationale. Besides the national flag of France, at the back of the rickshaws were the "Five-colored Flags", which were the national flag of the Republic of China from 1912 to 1928. The pullers might come from China.
