EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bustling street in Beijing, frozen in time in the year 1920. The image, taken by renowned photographer Donald Mennie, showcases the vibrant energy and unique charm of this historic city.
As you gaze upon this snapshot from the past, you can almost hear the sounds of vendors calling out their wares and see the colorful storefronts lining the cobblestone street. The architecture is a beautiful blend of traditional Chinese design with hints of Western influence peeking through.
The scene is alive with activity - pedestrians going about their daily business, bicycles whizzing by, and rickshaws carrying passengers to their destinations. Each person captured in this photograph has a story to tell, adding layers of depth to this snapshot in time.
Mennie's keen eye for detail is evident in every aspect of this image - from the intricate carvings on shop facades to the delicate lanterns hanging overhead. It's as if he has managed to freeze a moment that would otherwise have been lost to history.
This print serves as a window into Beijing's past, allowing us to glimpse into a world that existed over a century ago. It reminds us of how much cities evolve and change over time while also highlighting the enduring spirit and character that make them truly special.
