EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Shanghai in 1931. The image captures the busiest corner in the city, where Nanking and Scechuen Road intersected, showcasing a vibrant snapshot of Chinese life during this period. The scene is filled with activity as pedestrians navigate their way through a sea of people, while rickshaws maneuver through the busy streets. The presence of automobiles hints at an early stage of westernization taking place in China at that time. The storefronts lining the street display signs written in Chinese characters, emphasizing the strong sense of local commerce present in this thriving city. It's fascinating to witness how Shanghai was already becoming a hub for trade and economic activity even back then. This stereograph offers a glimpse into daily life during this era, capturing both traditional elements such as rickshaws alongside modern advancements like cars. The contrast between old and new is strikingly evident on this bustling street corner. Overall, this print serves as a visual testament to Shanghai's dynamic history and its transformation into one of China's most cosmopolitan cities. It allows us to reflect on how much has changed over the years while appreciating the enduring spirit that continues to define Shanghai today.
