EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Boxer Rebellion in China. The rebellion, which lasted from November 1899 to September 7,1901, was a response to foreign influence and control over trade, politics, religion, and technology. In this image, we witness the intense assault on the city walls of Tientsin by forces from Britain, France, Germany, the US, Russia Japan Italy and Austria-Hungary - collectively known as the Eight Nation Alliance. Their intervention came after the assassination of the German ambassador and a siege on foreign diplomatic legations in Peking. The photograph showcases brave soldiers storming through gates and battling against fierce resistance.

It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and warfare; commercial interests were still present. The flags flying high above represent each nation's commitment to their cause while highlighting their unity against xenophobia.
