EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling cityscape of Chung-King, a commercial metropolis in Sze-Chaun, Western China. Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the picturesque beauty of this vibrant city. Chung-King is depicted as a thriving hub of activity with its towering buildings and intricate architecture. The streets are filled with people going about their daily lives, creating a sense of energy and dynamism. The photo offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient Chinese city. The image was originally featured in "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson in 1896. This publication aimed to shed light on Chinese culture during a time when there was growing concern over perceived threats from Asia. With its historical significance and artistic composition, this photograph provides us with a window into the past. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, cities like Chung-King were centers of commerce and cultural exchange. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' private collection and reflects their commitment to preserving valuable artworks that capture important moments in history. It stands as both an homage to Western photographers who documented distant lands during colonial times and as an appreciation for the enduring allure of Asian landscapes.
