EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing "The Native Guard of Sir D. B Robertson, British Consulate, Canton" in 1872. Taken by the talented photographer John Thomson, this print offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on an intriguing chapter of Chinese-British relations. In this image, we see a group of Tartar soldiers standing proudly as they serve as personal guards to Sir D. B Robertson, the British Consul at that time. The soldiers are dressed immaculately in their uniforms, exuding strength and discipline. Their presence is heightened by the imposing cannon positioned behind them. The backdrop of Guangzhou provides a stunning setting for this photograph. A pagoda can be seen towering over the scene, adding an element of cultural richness to the composition. The contrast between traditional Chinese architecture and Western military attire creates a fascinating visual juxtaposition. Thomson's skillful use of photography enhances the timeless quality of this image while capturing intricate details with remarkable clarity. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. As we gaze upon "The Native Guard" we are transported back to 1872 Canton - witnessing not only the convergence of two cultures but also gaining insight into how power dynamics played out during that era.
