EDITORS COMMENTS
Mission children, with one little American girl, Canton, China, 1900. This print captures a unique moment in history as it showcases a group of Mission children alongside one little American girl in the bustling city of Canton, China. Taken by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood during the early 20th century, this stereoscopic slide offers a glimpse into the diverse cultural landscape of that era. The image portrays an intriguing mix of traditional Chinese dress and hairstyles worn by the local children while highlighting the distinct presence of the young American girl with her ponytail hairstyle. The contrast between their costumes symbolizes both unity and diversity within this multicultural setting. The photograph not only documents these innocent faces but also provides insight into cross-cultural interactions during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how people from different backgrounds can come together harmoniously despite their differences. With its monochrome aesthetic and impeccable composition, this print transports us back to turn-of-the-century Canton where East meets West in perfect harmony. As we gaze upon these precious youngsters frozen in time, we are reminded of our shared humanity transcending borders and nationalities. This historical artifact is a testament to Underwood & Underwood's exceptional talent for capturing poignant moments through their lens. It stands as a valuable piece showcasing both artistic brilliance and cultural significance.
