This photo print, titled "A street of flower boats, Canton, China, 1900" takes us back in time to a bustling scene along the river. The image showcases the artistic brilliance of Underwood & Underwood, renowned photographers of the early 20th century. In this stereoscopic card detail, we are transported to a vibrant Chinese cityscape filled with longboats adorned with an array of colorful flowers. These flower boats serve as floating markets or homes for their owners. The concept is both unique and enchanting. The photograph captures the essence of life on the waterways: busy and congested yet harmonious amidst nature's beauty. People can be seen going about their daily activities while surrounded by an abundance of plants and flowers. Canton (now known as Guangzhou) emerges as a significant geographical feature in this snapshot from history. Its location along the river makes it an ideal hub for transportation and trade. Underwood & Underwood's expertise in stereoscopic photography adds depth to this monochrome masterpiece. Their skillful composition allows viewers to immerse themselves fully into this moment frozen in time. As we admire this remarkable print by Underwood & Underwood, we cannot help but appreciate how it encapsulates not only a specific era but also highlights the rich culture and traditions that have shaped China throughout its history.
