EDITORS COMMENTS
Ringing in the New Year with a touch of Oriental flair! This stunning photograph print captures the vibrant atmosphere of Chinatown's New Year celebrations on January 1, 1912. The image was taken by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain, who worked for the influential news agency Bain News Service.
In this historic moment, two gentlemen - likely friends or family members - raise their glasses in a toast to mark the start of a new year according to the Chinese calendar. Their faces are aglow with joy and anticipation as they share in the festive spirit. The ornate furniture and decorations surrounding them add an air of elegance and cultural heritage.
This photograph not only provides a glimpse into Chinatown's rich history but also highlights the significance of New Year celebrations, which have been observed for centuries across Asia. As we look back on this moment from 1912, we are reminded to cherish our traditions and honor our cultural roots.
The Library of Congress has preserved this remarkable image as part of its Heritage Images collection, ensuring that future generations can continue to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historic photograph.
