EDITORS COMMENTS
The Shadow Show: A Cruise to Soo-chow" is a captivating photograph by Augustus Frederick Lindley, taken from H.W. Bates' "Illustrated Travels" published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. This evocative image transports us back to the 1870s in China, specifically in Suzhou, Jiangsu. The photograph depicts an enthralled audience, both men and women, gathered around a street entertainer, mesmerized by the shadow puppet show. The performer, a man, skillfully manipulates intricately cut-out figures against a white background, creating an illusion of depth and movement. The children in the crowd are dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, their eyes wide with wonder and excitement. The background is filled with a bustling street scene, where people go about their daily business. Some are dressed in Western-style apparel, reflecting the influence of colonialism. Others wear traditional Chinese costumes, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region. Augustus Frederick Lindley masterfully captures the essence of this moment, encapsulating the vibrant energy of the street scene and the captivating allure of the shadow puppet show. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of 19th-century China and the diverse fashion trends that coexisted during that era. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of storytelling through art and entertainment, as well as the power of photography to transport us to different times and places. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity that exists within the world, and the importance of preserving and celebrating these traditions for future generations.
