EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the international camaraderie and spirit of competition at the Shanghai Racecourse in China during the 1920s. Circa 1927, this image brings together a diverse group of men, representing Chinese, Japanese, and American cultures, dressed in a mix of military, naval, and civilian attire. The men are seen wearing a range of uniforms, including Chinese Qing dynasty uniforms, Japanese naval uniforms, and American military uniforms, as well as civilian clothing. The Shanghai Racecourse, located in the French Concession area of Shanghai, was a popular destination for both locals and expatriates alike. The annual horse racing season attracted large crowds, and this photograph captures a moment of excitement and joy before the start of a race. The men are seen holding rosettes, symbols of victory, adding to the sense of celebration and achievement. The photograph also serves as a snapshot of the unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures that characterized Shanghai during the 1920s. The men's diverse attire reflects the city's multicultural influences, with both Oriental and Western costumes on display. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of global connections, international travel, and the thrill of the race.
