EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the ruins of Wanghailou Church, formerly known as Cathedrale Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, in Tien-Tsin (now Tianjin), China. Taken in 1895 by W &s Ltd, this image showcases the architectural grandeur that once stood tall in the French concession area. The Wanghailou Church was constructed during the late 19th century and served as a symbol of Christianity in this bustling city. Its majestic presence dominated the skyline, with its intricate roofscape adding to its allure. However, time has taken its toll on this magnificent structure, reducing it to a picturesque ruin. The crumbling walls and shattered windows evoke a sense of melancholy but also serve as a reminder of history's enduring resilience. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we are transported back to an era when religion played a significant role in shaping communities around the world. The ruins stand as silent witnesses to both human triumphs and tragedies throughout centuries. This photograph is part of "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd in London during 1895. It serves as an invaluable historical document that allows us to appreciate not only China's architectural heritage but also our shared global history.
