EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The way to Peking, by rail, by road, and by river" captures the essence of a historical journey through 19th century China. Taken by an anonymous European photographer, this image is part of a private collection that showcases the captivating beauty of Asia's past. The photograph serves as an illustration for "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson in 1896. It depicts the various modes of transportation used to reach Peking (now Beijing) during that time period - rail, road, and river. Intriguingly composed, the picture portrays Chinese troops marching alongside junks on the Pei Ho River near Taku and Tientsin. A railway station can be seen in Tong Shan as well. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily life and movement within China at a crucial moment in its history. With its rich historical context and stunning monochromatic tones, this print transports viewers back to a time when Asia was undergoing significant change. It encapsulates both the allure and uncertainty surrounding what was known as "the yellow peril". As we observe this visual representation from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection today, it allows us to reflect upon how far China has come while appreciating its enduring cultural heritage.
