EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tientsin" takes us back to the early 20th century in China. The image, captured by an English photographer, showcases the bustling city of Tientsin with its remarkable architecture and vibrant street scenes. The photograph offers a glimpse into daily life during that era, as people go about their business on the frozen river Peiho. A bridge of boats connects different parts of the city, while a railway line stretches across the landscape. The grand entrance to the Yamen, or government office, stands proudly amidst this busy scene. Intriguingly torn posters plastered on walls hint at political unrest and perhaps even rebellion brewing within Chinese society. This could be related to the Boxer Rebellion that took place around this time. Amidst all this activity, we see a procession led by bodyguards marching down Victoria Road. It is likely that they are escorting an important figure - possibly even the Viceroy of Chihli himself. This mesmerizing snapshot freezes a moment in history when East meets West in Tientsin's vibrant streetscape. It serves as a testament to both cultural diversity and historical significance in Asia during this period.
