EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Peking, now known as Beijing, in 19th century China. Captured from the vantage point of the Tartar City Wall, a European photographer skillfully frames a scene that exudes energy and activity. The image showcases a busy street teeming with life as people go about their daily routines. Pedestrians clad in traditional Chinese attire fill the narrow lanes while rickshaws navigate through the crowd. The architecture reflects both Chinese and Western influences, highlighting the city's cultural diversity during this period. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson in 1896. It offers a glimpse into an era marked by geopolitical tensions and fears surrounding Asia's rise on the global stage. With its historical significance, this print serves as a window into China's rich past and invites contemplation on how societies evolve over time. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in history, we are reminded of Peking's vibrant atmosphere and its role as a hub of trade, culture, and innovation. Through Bridgeman Images' careful preservation of this artwork from their private collection, viewers can appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also gain insights into one chapter of China's complex narrative.
