EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Eleanor Lord Pray in 1899, captures the image of Thune Chin Sin, a Chinese house servant and errand boy, standing proudly at the main entrance to the Dom Smith residence in Vladivostok, Russia. Dressed in traditional Chinese clothing and holding a feather duster, Thune Chin Sin exudes a sense of dignity and purpose as he looks directly at the camera. The photograph offers a glimpse into the diverse cultural landscape of Vladivostok during the late 19th century, a time when the city was a melting pot of various nationalities and ethnicities. The building behind Thune Chin Sin, with its ornate doors and intricate architectural details, adds to the sense of history and heritage. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that house servants and errand boys played in the daily lives of expatriate families, and the ways in which they contributed to the meeting of frontiers and the exchange of cultures. This image, preserved in the photograph album of the Pray family, is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the past and the rich cultural heritage of Vladivostok and Russia.
