EDITORS COMMENTS
CHINA: PEKING, c1902. A Glimpse into the Aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion". This print captures a poignant scene from the aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion in Peking (now Beijing) around 1902. The image showcases a break in the outer wall, symbolizing both destruction and resilience. In this devastated landscape, we witness remnants of a temporary railway system used to bring supplies into the city. Intriguingly, five children can be seen wading through shallow water in the foreground. Their presence adds an element of innocence amidst chaos and serves as a reminder that even during times of turmoil, life continues for those caught in its wake. Standing guard on the railroad tracks is an Indian soldier, his stoic figure representing international involvement during this tumultuous period in Chinese history. His watchful gaze hints at both protection and vigilance against potential threats. The photograph itself is presented as a stereograph—a popular medium at that time—enhancing depth perception and immersing viewers further into this historical moment frozen in time. This remarkable visual artifact offers us a glimpse into turn-of-the-century China—its destruction, resilience, and human spirit enduring despite adversity. It serves as a testament to our shared history while reminding us of how far we have come since those challenging days.
