EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This striking and historically significant print captures a vivid moment from the Boxer Uprising in China, as depicted in the French newspaper Le Petit Parisien on 15th July 1900. The colour lithograph titled "Death to the Foreigners" showcases an anti-Christian protest during this tumultuous period. The image portrays a scene of revolt and uprising, with Chinese boxers prominently featured holding banners denouncing foreigners. The protesters express their discontent towards foreign influence and Christianity, which they believed threatened traditional Chinese values. The artist's skillful use of colour brings intensity to the lithograph, emphasizing the fervor of the demonstrators. Their determination is palpable as they march forward with conviction against perceived threats to their culture and way of life. This piece serves as a powerful historical document that sheds light on one of China's most turbulent periods. It offers valuable insight into both local sentiments at the time and international perceptions of these events through its publication in a prominent French newspaper. Preserved within Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, this illustration stands as a testament to the power of visual storytelling in documenting significant moments throughout history. Its presence allows us to reflect upon past conflicts while encouraging dialogue about cultural identity, religious tensions, and global relations then and now.
