EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the railway station at Tientsin, serving as the starting point for the historic expedition to Peking. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The railway station stands tall amidst its surroundings, showcasing an important chapter in China's history. The photograph was originally featured in "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson and published around 1896. This publication aimed to shed light on the Chinese crisis known as "the yellow peril" that gripped Europe during that time. Intriguingly, this image not only depicts the railway station but also offers a glimpse into Chinese society during this period. It serves as a visual reminder of Asia's rich historical past and showcases how railways played a crucial role in connecting different parts of China. As we observe this scene, we are transported back to the late 19th century when expeditions from Tientsin set off towards Peking (now Beijing). The bustling atmosphere surrounding the station hints at both excitement and trepidation felt by those embarking on their journey. Overall, this print provides us with an invaluable window into history – capturing not just physical landmarks but also reflecting broader themes such as cultural exchange, exploration, and international relations between East and West.
