EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Ralph Ponsonby Watts in 1932, captures a tender moment between a father and his two young children in the historic city of Kashgar, western China. The scene unfolds outside their humble brick house, adorned with intricate mortar work and a distinctive national Chinese door. The father, dressed in traditional oriental clothing, is seen washing his sons in a small bowl of water, a common practice in rural areas during the 1930s. The boys, dressed in simple clothing, look up at their father with curious expressions. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Chinese family in the region of Xinjiang during this era. The doorframe, with its worn bricks and faded colors, adds to the historical context of the photograph. The use of natural light and the simple composition emphasizes the intimacy and connection between the father and his children. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and tradition that continues to thrive in China's western regions.
