EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of a Shanghai street in the 1920s, with the Ox Brand Leather Trunk Sale Depot run by Lim Teck Lee prominently featured on the left. The shop, with its distinctive red and gold sign, stands tall among the other traditional Chinese buildings and shops lining the eastern part of the city. Pedestrians move briskly along the crowded street, their shadows cast long by the setting sun. The air is filled with the aroma of various street foods and the sound of merchants calling out to potential customers. The lanterns hanging from the buildings add a warm, inviting glow to the scene, casting an ethereal light on the people and the wares they carry. The Ox Brand Leather Trunk Sale Depot, run by Lim Teck Lee, was a popular destination for both locals and foreigners in Shanghai during the 1920s. The shop offered a wide selection of high-quality leather trunks, which were prized for their durability and style. The depot's reputation for excellent craftsmanship and customer service made it a go-to destination for travelers and expats living in the city. The photograph provides a glimpse into the rich history of trade and commerce in Shanghai during the 1920s. The diverse mix of Eastern and Western influences is evident in the architecture, the clothing of the people, and the goods being sold on the street. This image is a reminder of the vibrant and dynamic city that Shanghai was, and continues to be, a hub of culture and commerce in China.
