EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1907, showcases the statues of camels that grace the entrance of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, China. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the tomb of the Hongwu Emperor, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, which ruled China from 1368 to 1644. Situated at the southern foot of Purple Mountain, the mausoleum complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an essential part of Chinese history. The camel statues, with their regal and serene expressions, serve as grave monuments and markers for the imperial procession that once carried the emperor's remains to his final resting place. The camels, an exotic addition to the Chinese landscape, were likely used as transportation for the imperial procession, symbolizing the vast reach and power of the Ming Empire. The photograph captures the intricate details of the camel statues, from their intricately designed harnesses to the ornate patterns adorning their bodies. The statues stand proudly, framing the entrance to the mausoleum, and adding an air of grandeur and mystery to the already impressive site. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Ming Dynasty ruled China and the world was a much different place. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and the enduring legacy of the Ming Empire.
