EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating scene from a 19th-century Chinese gambling establishment. The image showcases the intense atmosphere of the venue, with all eyes focused on the banker as he picks up the "cash". The photograph was taken by an European photographer and is now part of a private collection. The composition offers a glimpse into China's history, specifically during the late 1800s. It serves as an illustration for Charles N Robinson's book, "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" which explores themes of crisis and cultural clashes between East and West. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the allure and danger associated with gambling in Chinese society at that time. The image also sheds light on Asian culture, featuring individuals from various backgrounds engaged in this popular pastime. It emphasizes their presence within this particular establishment while highlighting their distinctiveness as Asians. Overall, this historical photograph provides valuable insight into both Chinese society during the 1890s and its interactions with Western influences. Its monochromatic aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal, making it an intriguing piece for those interested in Asia's rich history or early photography techniques.
