EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by Melton Prior in 1898 for The Illustrated London News, this print captures the atmosphere and tension surrounding the German occupation of Kiao-Chau during the Boxer Rebellion. The scene depicted shows a bustling street outside the Yamen or Government House in Tsingtan. People from different walks of life can be seen going about their daily activities amidst an air of uncertainty. Chinese locals mingle with German soldiers and officials who have taken control of this strategic port city. This image raises questions about power dynamics and cultural clashes during this period. It highlights "The Chinese Question" referring to Western powers' attempts to exert influence over China's affairs. The presence of Asian individuals adds depth to the narrative as they navigate through these changing times. Melton Prior's attention to detail brings this historical moment alive on paper. His skillful engraving technique captures intricate architectural features and conveys emotions through facial expressions and body language. As we observe this print today, it serves as a reminder of past events that shaped our world.
