EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Shanghai's waterfront in the 1920s, with the iconic New Custom House taking center stage. Located on the Bund, the heart of Shanghai's historic district, the New Custom House was a symbol of China's modernization and international connections. The imposing structure, with its distinctive clock tower and intricate stonework, served as the main customs house for the city's bustling port. The image showcases the quayside in all its glory, with ships anchored in the harbor, their sails billowing in the wind. The quay teems with activity, as porters load and unload cargo, while passengers disembark and make their way to the city. The hustle and bustle of the waterfront reflects the vibrant energy and economic activity that defined Shanghai during this era. The photograph also highlights the unique blend of Eastern and Western architectural influences that characterized Shanghai in the early 20th century. The New Custom House, with its European-style design, stands proudly against the backdrop of traditional Chinese buildings and temples, demonstrating the city's rich cultural heritage and its role as a melting pot of diverse influences. This photograph offers a glimpse into Shanghai's past, when it was a thriving port city and a gateway to China for people and goods from around the world. It is a testament to the city's resilience and adaptability, as well as its enduring allure and charm.
