EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts the Taku Forts, also known as the Dagu Forts or Peiho Forts, located in Tanggu District, Tianjin municipality, China. The fortifications are situated by the Hai River (Peiho River) estuary, approximately 60 km southeast of the Tianjin urban center. The Taku Forts were a significant part of China's defensive structures during the late 19th century, serving as a crucial barrier against foreign invasions. The fortifications were constructed between 1858 and 1860, following the Second Opium War, and were named after the Taku River, which flows into the Peiho River. The intricately designed fortifications are a testament to the advanced military engineering of the time. The image captures the grandeur of the fortresses, with their imposing walls, towering gates, and intricate details. The use of lantern slides like this one was a popular means of sharing visuals of distant lands and historical sites during the late 1800s. This particular slide, part of Box 159 Pekin, slide no. 4, dates back to the 1890s, providing a fascinating glimpse into China's rich history. The Taku Forts played a pivotal role in China's history, as they were the site of several key battles, including the Battle of Taku in 1858 and the Battle of Taku in 1860. Despite their historical significance, the fortifications were largely destroyed during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. Today, only a few remnants of the original structures remain, serving as a reminder of China's past and its complex relationship with the outside world during the late 19th century.
