EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of Shanghai, China in 1879. This wood engraving captures a vibrant scene as a diverse crowd of people make their way through the city towards an eagerly anticipated derby event. The image showcases the rich tapestry of Chinese daily life during this late 19th-century period. The streets are teeming with activity, showcasing various modes of transportation available at that time. Pedestrians on foot mingle with those traveling by carriages and rickshaws, while others opt for horseback riding to reach their destination swiftly. The equestrian element adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. Amidst the hustle and bustle, men and women from all walks of life come together, united by their shared excitement for this recreational event. Their attire reflects both traditional Chinese garments and Western influences, highlighting Shanghai's cosmopolitan nature even then. This remarkable print offers a glimpse into a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages ruled the roads and rickshaws weaved through traffic-laden streets. It is not just a snapshot frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity when it comes to transportation methods. As you admire this historic artwork from Granger Art on Demand's collection, let your imagination transport you back over 140 years ago to experience firsthand the energy and anticipation that filled these ancient Shanghai streets.
