EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic wall of the Chinese city of Peking, as seen from the An-Ting Gate. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson in 1896. The immense scale and intricate details of the wall are awe-inspiring, showcasing both its historical significance and architectural brilliance. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into China's rich history and cultural heritage. During this period, China faced various challenges referred to as "the yellow peril" crisis, which adds another layer of context to this photograph. It serves as a reminder that even monumental structures like these walls were not impervious to external threats. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, it is impossible not to marvel at how it has withstood the test of time. The image invites us to reflect on the resilience and endurance displayed by ancient civilizations throughout history. With its portrayal of an iconic landmark against a backdrop steeped in history, this print transports us back to 19th-century China while also serving as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance.
