EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the Old city wall of Beijing in 1920. The image, taken by Donald Mennie, showcases a dusty street near Yongdingmen, giving us a glimpse into the bustling city life of that era.
The ancient city wall stands tall and proud, a testament to Beijing's rich history and cultural heritage. The horse-drawn cart adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of simpler times when transportation was more traditional and leisurely.
As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to a time when the streets were filled with activity and the air was thick with dust. The architecture of the wall is truly remarkable, its weathered stones telling stories of centuries gone by.
Mennie's keen eye for detail is evident in this composition, capturing not just an architectural marvel but also the everyday life unfolding around it. From vendors selling their wares to pedestrians going about their business, every element in this photo adds depth and character to the scene.
This print serves as a beautiful reminder of Beijing's past glory and resilience. It is a window into another world, inviting us to ponder on how much has changed since then while also appreciating the timeless beauty of this historic city wall.
