EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Soy Kee & Co., Importers of Chinese and Japanese Fancy Goods, circa 1906. This postcard invites us to explore the exotic allure of the Eastern world, showcasing a high-status Chinese lady in resplendent robes and a regal crown, seated on a throne. The image, once displayed in the windows of Soy Kee & Co.'s premises at 7 & 8 Mott Street in New York City's Chinatown, now serves as a window to the past. Soy Kee & Co. was a pioneering importer and exporter of Chinese and Japanese Fancy Goods, bringing the rich cultural heritage of the Far East to the shores of New York. The company's offerings ranged from intricately designed porcelain vases and delicate silk fans to ornate jade figurines and exquisite silk robes. As you gaze upon this regal lady, her serene expression and elegant attire evoke a sense of mystery and allure. Her throne, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors, speaks to the opulence and grandeur of the Eastern world. This postcard, a precious relic of a bygone era, invites us to imagine the stories and adventures that unfolded within the walls of Soy Kee & Co. Today, the Chinatown Community Center stands where Soy Kee & Co. once thrived. Yet, the legacy of this pioneering company lives on, reminding us of the rich cultural exchange that has shaped our world and continues to inspire us.
