Beijing Legation Peking Quarters Slides Stables Students
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts the Stables and Students Quarters of the British Legation in Peking (Beijing), China, during the late 19th century, around the 1890s. The British Legation served as the diplomatic mission and residence of the British Minister and his staff in China's capital city. The image showcases a collection of traditional Chinese structures, with the stables at the forefront, featuring a row of horses tethered to wooden posts, their heads turned towards the camera. The students' quarters, located behind the stables, are a series of low-lying buildings with tiled roofs and ornate wooden doors and windows. The serene scene is further enhanced by the lush greenery surrounding the area, with trees and shrubs framing the image. The British Legation in Peking was a significant part of the diplomatic community in China during the late 19th century. The presence of British diplomats and students in the city was a reflection of the growing British influence in China, as the two nations forged political and economic ties. The British Legation also served as a hub for cultural exchange, with students from Britain studying Chinese language, culture, and traditions. This lantern slide, part of Box 159 Peking, slide no. 45 from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of the British Legation in Peking during the late 19th century. The traditional Chinese architecture, the horses in the stables, and the students' quarters all contribute to a fascinating and historically significant image.
