Part of Foochow Foreign Settlement; Terracing Hills; Foochow Field Women; A Memorial Arch (c. 1868) - Capturing the Essence of 19th Century China
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken by renowned Scottish photographer John Thomson in the late 1800s, transports us back to a bygone era in China's history. The image is part of Thomson's iconic album "Illustrations of China and its People, Volume II" (1873), which beautifully documents various aspects of Chinese life during colonial times. In this particular scene, we are presented with a mesmerizing view that showcases the architectural beauty and natural splendor surrounding the city of Foochow (now Fuzhou) in Fujian Province. The terraced hills create a stunning backdrop against which local women can be seen working diligently in rice paddy fields below. The focal point of this photograph is an impressive memorial arch, standing tall as a testament to Chinese heritage and tradition. Its intricate design reflects both Oriental aesthetics and British influence prevalent during that period. Thomson's masterful collotype technique brings out every detail with remarkable clarity, capturing not only the physical landscape but also the essence of daily life for these hardworking farmers. Through his lens, we catch a glimpse into their occupation and witness their dedication to cultivating the land. As we admire this vintage print at the Art Institute Chicago gallery today, it serves as a powerful reminder of our shared human history and cultural diversity. It invites us to appreciate how art can transcend time and space while fostering understanding between nations.
