EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Empress Dowager Cixi of China, a powerful and influential figure during the 20th century. The colour lithograph, created by Eugene Damblans, beautifully captures her regal presence and intricate costume. Empress Dowager Cixi is depicted wearing an exquisite traditional Chinese dress adorned with pearls and a stunning necklace that accentuates her royal status. Her elaborate headdress further adds to her majestic appearance. This portrait not only highlights her beauty but also symbolizes her position as a supporter of nationalism in China. The image holds historical significance as it was published in Le Petit Journal on July 8,1900, during the Boxer Rebellion period. It serves as a reminder of the turbulent times when China faced internal conflicts and external pressures from foreign powers. Through this photo print, we catch a glimpse into the life of Empress Dowager Cixi - an enigmatic woman who played a crucial role in shaping Chinese history. Her influence extended beyond the walls of the palace, making her an emblematic figure for both Chinese royalty and Asian culture. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry for us to appreciate today. As we admire this portrayal of Empress Dowager Cixi, let us reflect upon the resilience and strength she embodied throughout her reign in one of Asia's most significant dynasties.
