EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Scottish photographer Donald Mennie in the early 1920s, showcases the Bridge at Wan Hsien over the majestic Yangtze River in China. The image transports us back in time to an era of cultural richness and historical significance during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The bridge, a marvel of engineering, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery and mist-covered mountains, reflecting the serene waters of the Yangtze. The bridge's intricate design, with its graceful arches and sturdy pillars, is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the people who built it. The photograph was taken during the Grandeur of the Gorges expedition, a journey that explored the breathtaking beauty of the Yangtze River and its surrounding landscapes. Mennie, an accomplished photographer, captured this moment in time using an albumen or collodion process, techniques popular during the late 1800s and early 1900s. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when travel was an adventure, and the world was filled with wonders yet to be discovered. The Bridge at Wan Hsien stands as a symbol of the cultural and historical significance of China during this period, and a reminder of the rich heritage that continues to inspire us today.
