EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the interior of the South Taku Fort on the Pei-ho River, showcasing the exact spot where the allies landed on 25 June 1859. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph offers a glimpse into an important moment in history, specifically illustrating an event described in Charles N Robinson's book "China of Today or The Yellow Peril". Published around 1896, this work aimed to shed light on China's current state and its perceived threat to Western powers. The South Taku Fort itself holds great significance as it played a crucial role during conflicts between China and foreign forces. This particular snapshot highlights not only the fort's interior but also emphasizes its strategic location along the Pei-ho River. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to that fateful day when allies from various nations made their landing. It serves as a reminder of both Chinese resilience and international tensions that shaped Asia's history during this period. With its historical value and artistic composition, this print provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon past events while appreciating the skillful eye of the European photographer who captured it over a century ago.
