EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the Boxer Rebellion in China. In the midst of an intense conflict, U. S. soldiers can be seen atop the Tartar City wall in Beijing, utilizing a heliograph to send crucial messages. Published by Carleton H. Graves in 1902, this stereograph offers a glimpse into early communication technology at the turn of the century. The image showcases eight nation alliance soldiers embracing Westernization and employing advanced methods to communicate with their allies amidst anti-foreign sentiments prevalent during that time. The American troops stand tall on the city wall, showcasing their determination and resilience as they navigate through this tumultuous period. The heliograph itself stands prominently on a tripod, symbolizing both technological progress and military strategy. This innovative device allowed for long-distance communication using flashes of light reflected off mirrors—a remarkable feat for its era. As we delve into this historical photograph published by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection, it serves as a reminder of how communication played an integral role in shaping global events like the Boxer Rebellion. It is through such visual records that we gain insight into pivotal moments that have shaped our world today.
