EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases Charles William Beresford, 6th Marquess of Waterford, also known as Lord Charles Beresford (1846-1919), a prominent British naval officer with an intriguing connection to China. Dressed in an elaborate Chinese costume adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, Lord Charles strikes a playful pose with his faithful Pug dog by his side. The image, captured around the late 19th century, satirizes Lord Charles' fascination with Chinese culture, which was a common interest among Europeans during the height of the British Empire's influence in China. Lord Charles' military career began in 1862 when he joined the Royal Navy. He served in several key battles, including the Anglo-Zulu War and the Anglo-Egyptian War, earning him numerous decorations and accolades. However, it was his association with China that set him apart from his peers. He was appointed as the British Consul-General in Shanghai in 1895, a position he held until 1900. During his tenure, he became a patron of the arts and a collector of Chinese antiquities. The photograph's unique composition includes an array of intriguing details. Lord Charles wears a Chinese robe, complete with a mandarin collar and a sash emblazoned with the Chinese character for "peace." A feathered headdress sits atop his head, adding an exotic touch to his attire. His Pug dog, a popular breed among the British aristocracy, is dressed in a miniature Chinese costume, complete with a hat and a sash. The image is a testament to Lord Charles' appreciation for Chinese culture and his ability to embrace the unusual with grace and humor. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the life of a British naval officer with an unusual passion for China. It is a captivating reminder of the rich history that connects the Western world to China and the enduring allure of Eastern culture.
