EDITORS COMMENTS
This archival colour postcard transports us back in time to a bustling street scene in Peking (Beijing), China, circa 1910. The print captures the essence of this historic city with its traditional entry gates and vibrant urban atmosphere. In the foreground, we see a diverse group of people strolling along the road, enjoying the day outdoors. Women dressed in colourful attire walk alongside men and children, creating a lively and dynamic composition. The architecture of the gate structures adds an element of grandeur to this snapshot of history. Mothers can be seen walking hand-in-hand with their sons, while carts filled with goods pass by on the dirt roads. This image is not only a visual representation of Beijing's past but also offers insights into Chinese culture and daily life during that era. The postcard's vivid colours bring out every detail, from the intricate design on the gate to the expressions on people's faces as they go about their activities. It serves as both a local landmark and a testament to Beijing's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, we are reminded of how travel has always been an essential part of human experience – exploring new destinations, immersing ourselves in different cultures, and marveling at iconic landmarks like these entry gates. This photograph truly encapsulates the allure and charm that make Beijing one of China's most beloved tourist attractions even today.
