EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in Peking, China, around the year 1900. The image showcases the monumental event of the first train passing through the ancient walls of Peking. Taken by an anonymous Chinese photographer from the 20th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The photo exudes a sense of awe as smoke billows out from the locomotive's chimney, creating an ethereal atmosphere against the backdrop of Peking's iconic wall. This significant milestone marked not only technological progress but also symbolized China's embrace of modernization during that era. The glass negative used to capture this scene adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical value. The composition highlights both industrial revolution and Asian culture as it portrays an engine powered by steam traversing traditional Chinese rails. Beijing (formerly known as Peking) has always been renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage. This photograph serves as a testament to how China embraced change while preserving its unique identity. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial intentions or usage restrictions. It stands as a visual reminder of China's journey into modernity and invites viewers to reflect on how societies evolve over time while still cherishing their roots.
