Amoy Harbour, Xiamen, China (1870s) - A Captivating Glance into the Past This evocative photograph, taken by the renowned Scottish photographer John Thomson during the late 1870s, offers a captivating glimpse into the past of Amoy Harbour, now known as Xiamen, in China. The image beautifully captures the tranquil and bustling scene of the harbor, with its traditional Chinese junks and Western-style steamships anchored side by side. The photograph is believed to have been taken during the late 1870s, a period of significant change in Xiamen. The city, then known as Amoy, was a major trading port and a melting pot of cultures, with a thriving Chinese community and a growing presence of Western traders and missionaries. Thomson's photograph masterfully conveys the unique blend of Chinese and Western influences that characterized the city during this time. The photograph shows the harbor's bustling activity, with fishermen unloading their catch from their boats, and merchants and sailors haggling over goods. In the background, the distinctive red-tiled roofs of traditional Chinese houses can be seen, while Western-style buildings, including a church and a European-style mansion, are also visible. The photograph also reveals the natural beauty of the area, with the clear blue waters of the harbor reflecting the clear blue sky and the lush green hills in the distance. John Thomson's photograph of Amoy Harbour is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Xiamen. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this vibrant and bustling port city, and to appreciate the unique blend of Chinese and Western influences that have shaped its character over the centuries.
