EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, captures a moment in time at the Foreign Hotel in China. The low-lying building, with its distinctive red roof and ornate wooden facade, is bathed in the soft glow of a traditional Chinese lantern. In the foreground, two hotel staff members are seen standing in the doorway, likely greeting guests or tending to their needs. A charming detail of the scene is the sleeping dog on the path leading to the hotel. The dog, with its muzzle resting on its paws, appears content and at ease, adding a touch of tranquility to the bustling surroundings. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, which documents a tour in China during the early 1900s. The collection offers a unique glimpse into the rich history and culture of the region, providing a window into the past and offering a fascinating look at how travel and hospitality industries have evolved over time. The photograph's composition and lighting create a sense of warmth and invitation, inviting the viewer to step into the scene and experience the sights, sounds, and sensations of China during this time period. The image is a beautiful reminder of the enduring allure of travel and the connections that can be made across cultures and continents.
