EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Canton (Guangzhou), China in the year 1900. Captured by Underwood & Underwood, renowned for their stereoscopic photography, this image offers a unique perspective on the Pearl River (Zhu Jiang) that flows through the heart of this vibrant port city. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, our eyes are drawn towards the busy river teeming with boats and ships. The waterfront is alive with activity as water transport plays a crucial role in connecting Canton to other parts of China and beyond. Towering buildings line both sides of the river, showcasing the rapid urban development taking place during this era. The composition beautifully captures not only the physical landscape but also reflects an essence of Chinese culture and history. The juxtaposition between traditional Chinese architecture and Western influences can be seen in these structures along the riverbank. This photograph serves as a window into a bygone era, allowing us to witness firsthand how life unfolded in one of China's most important trading hubs at the turn of the 20th century. It reminds us of Guangzhou's rich maritime heritage and its significance as a gateway for international trade. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, let it transport us back in time to experience an extraordinary moment frozen forever within its frame.
