EDITORS COMMENTS
Photogravure: The Grandeur of the Gorges by Donald Mennie, a captivating visual journey through the upper Yangtze River in China during the early 20th century. This stunning photogravure is taken from Mennie's book of the same name, published in China in 1926. The image was captured during two separate trips on the Yangtze River: the first, on a steamer from Ichang to Chungking, during poor weather, and the second between Ichang and Wan Hsien. The book concludes at Chungking. The photogravure showcases the grandeur and majesty of the ancient gorges, with their towering cliffs, winding river, and historic cities nestled along the coastline. The image captures a sense of adventure and discovery, as Mennie's camera lens explores the rich cultural heritage of China. In the foreground, boats and vessels ply the water, adding to the hustle and bustle of activity on the river. Ancient fortifications and historic landmarks dot the landscape, providing a glimpse into China's past. The panoramic view offers a glimpse of a world that has long since passed, a world of ethnic diversity, ancient architecture, and a way of life that was once the norm. The photogravure process, a printing technique that combines the best of photography and intaglio printing, brings out the intricate details of the scene, from the clouds in the sky to the houses and buildings along the shore. The result is a vivid and detailed image that transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. This photogravure is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time that is both ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China.
