Empress Dowager Cixi of China, depicted in a vibrant color lithograph, ruled during a tumultuous era marked by new massacres and the Boxer Rebellion. Contrastingly, this engraving captures the joyous moment of The Coronation of the Czar, with the Dowager Empress and Tsarevich of Russia in attendance. In France, they later visited the Exposition Universelle of 1900, where the Chinese Pavilion was a major attraction. Meanwhile, in Russia, Empress Maria Fyodorovna, portrayed in an oil painting from the 1770s, enjoyed a peaceful life in the sewing room of the Winter Palace. Amidst these contrasting scenes, figures like Guanyin Nine-Lotus Bodhisattva and prominent Boxer Rebellion leaders emerged, shaping the complex tapestry of East-West relations during this transformative period.
