EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the industrious spirit of early 20th century China. Taken in Nanking around 1906, it depicts a group of determined men working together to move an enormous stone roller along a bustling street. The sheer size and weight of the roller is evident from their strained expressions and coordinated efforts. The scene exudes a sense of primitive yet awe-inspiring labor as these workers navigate through the city's streets, drawing attention from onlookers who are captivated by this extraordinary sight. The image offers us a glimpse into the daily life of Chinese workers during this era, highlighting their resilience and dedication to their craft. Against the backdrop of traditional Chinese architecture and walls that have witnessed centuries pass by, this photo also hints at the influence of westernization creeping into China at that time. It serves as a testament to how modernity was gradually seeping into ancient cities like Nanking. Preserved through stereograph technology, which adds depth to the image when viewed with special glasses, this print transports us back over a century ago. It reminds us not only of our shared human history but also celebrates the strength and determination exhibited by individuals striving for progress amidst challenging circumstances.
