Canton Harbour, China in the Early 1900s: A Glimpse into the Past This vintage photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the bustling Canton Harbour in China during the early 1900s. The image, reminiscent of a lantern slide, offers a unique perspective of the Chinese port city, then known as Guangzhou, during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The photograph showcases an array of steamships and boats anchored in the harbour, their sails billowing in the wind. The intricate details of the vessels, from their tall smokestacks to their ornate decorations, reveal the advanced technology and international trade that characterized this period. In the background, the city skyline is dotted with traditional Chinese buildings, their rooftops adorned with colorful tiles and ornate eaves. The photograph also captures the vibrant activity on the waterfront, with people going about their daily lives. Sailors can be seen working on the boats, while others load and unload cargo. The scene is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place between China and the Western world during this time. Despite the hustle and bustle, the photograph also exudes a sense of tranquility. The calm waters of the harbour reflect the clear blue sky above, and the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. This image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the world was becoming more interconnected and the wonders of steam power were transforming the way goods were transported across continents.
