EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of an old man, in his thirties, sitting quietly at the side of a dusty road in Kashgar, a historic city located in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of western China. The photograph, taken in the 1930s by the renowned photographer Ralph Ponsonby Watts, presents a poignant snapshot of life in this ancient Oriental city during that era. The old man, dressed in shabby clothes and wearing a worn-out hat, exudes an air of wisdom and resilience, as he seems to ponder the passing of time. His shoes, which appear to be worn and threadbare, speak to the hardships of daily life in this part of the world. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the racial and cultural diversity of Kashgar during the 1930s, as the old man's features suggest a mix of Chinese and Central Asian influences. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and complex cultural tapestry of China's western regions, and serves as a testament to the enduring human spirit.
