EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the reception of Anson Burlingame and members of the Chinese Embassy at the prestigious Travelers Club in New York on May 30th, 1868. The image, originally featured in Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspaper on June 20th, 1868, showcases an engraving by Frank Leslie himself. In this grand scene, we witness a harmonious blend of cultures as American and Chinese diplomats come together to foster international relations. Dressed in their traditional costumes, the esteemed guests are introduced to one another amidst an atmosphere brimming with diplomacy and elegance. The event is marked by a lavish dinner and official ball held at the Travelers Club. As distinguished figures from both nations gather under one roof, it symbolizes a pivotal moment for diplomatic ties between China and the United States during this era. Anson Burlingame takes center stage as he represents America's interests as minister to China. This photograph serves not only as a testament to his role but also highlights the significance of cultural exchange between these two great nations. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into history that transcends time. It reminds us of the power of diplomacy and how it can bridge gaps between different cultures while fostering mutual understanding and respect.
