EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Shanghai's history - "The Concession Question at Shanghai, the Yang-King-Pang Creek, separating French from British Settlements". Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the territorial divide between the French and British settlements along the creek. Intriguingly, this photograph was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on January 7,1899. It offers a glimpse into a time when China's waterways played a crucial role in defining boundaries and shaping international relations. The picture features boats navigating through the creek, symbolizing not only transportation but also political significance. As we observe this snapshot of history unfold before our eyes, it becomes evident that these waterways were more than just means of transport; they represented power dynamics between nations. With France and Great Britain being prominent players in Asia during that era, their presence is palpable in this image. The juxtaposition of Chinese locals alongside European settlers highlights both cultural diversity and colonial influence. As we delve into this photograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, it serves as a reminder of how photography can preserve moments frozen in time. This particular print allows us to reflect on Shanghai's past while contemplating its evolution into one of Asia's most vibrant cities today.
