EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured photograph, taken by John Thomson in 1890, transports us back to a time when China was still shrouded in mystery and intrigue. The image features a Chinese man standing proudly beside his wagon, pulled by a sturdy oxen. The scene is filled with an air of tranquility as the man gazes into the distance, perhaps contemplating his next journey. Thomson's masterful composition captures not only the beauty of the landscape but also provides insight into the daily life and transportation methods of that era. The attention to detail evident in this hand-coloured print brings out vibrant hues that breathe life into every element of the photograph. The juxtaposition between tradition and progress is palpable here – while the wagon represents centuries-old modes of transport used throughout Asia, it also hints at modernization creeping its way into society. This Chinese man becomes a symbol for resilience and adaptability amidst changing times. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of photography's power to transcend time and connect us with cultures long gone. It serves as a visual portal through which we can explore different worlds and gain deeper understanding and appreciation for our shared humanity.
