EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a moment in time from China around the turn of the 20th century. A coolie, a laborer often employed for heavy manual work, is depicted carrying baskets filled with live geese along a bustling street. The coolie wears a conical hat and a long, loose-fitting robe, typical of the traditional Chinese clothing of the era. In each basket, the geese are carefully balanced, their distinctive orange legs dangling over the sides. The coolie's path is illuminated by a hanging lantern, casting a warm, inviting glow over the scene. The background is filled with the vibrant colors and energy of the Chinese marketplace, with various merchants and pedestrians going about their business. The geese, a common source of food in China, are likely being transported to market for sale. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, which documents the travels of an intrepid explorer and photographer, Mr. Boswell, during his tour in China around the year 1900. The image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of China during this period, providing a window into the past and showcasing the rich cultural heritage of this fascinating country.
