Tickets, Please! A Glimpse into China's Railway History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "Tickets, Please!" takes us back in time to the early 20th century on the Peking Shanhaikuan Railway. The image showcases a Chinese collector diligently taking tickets from passengers as they embark on their journey. The artist behind this masterpiece is Frederic de Haenen, known for his remarkable attention to detail and ability to capture cultural nuances. Through his skilled hand, he brings alive the bustling atmosphere of one of China's most significant transportation systems. The Peking Shanhaikuan Railway holds great historical significance as it played a crucial role in connecting Beijing (then called Peking) with Shanhaiguan, an important military pass located at the eastern end of the Great Wall of China. This railway not only facilitated trade and travel but also served as a vital link for military operations. In this print, we witness the fusion of traditional Chinese attire with elements of Western influence brought by foreign travelers. The meticulous engraving beautifully portrays both Chinese collectors and passengers dressed in their respective garments. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are transported back in time to experience a moment frozen forever – capturing not just a simple act of ticket collection but also offering us glimpses into China's rich history and its evolving relationship with modernization and global influences.
