EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, captures a moment in time during a European traveler's tour of China. Five Chinese servants, dressed in traditional attire, are gathered around a young child. Two men are seated on the ground, one holding a lantern, while the other three stand behind them. The child, dressed in Western clothing, appears to be the focus of their attention. The scene exudes an air of tranquility and warmth, as the servants dote on the young traveler. The lantern adds a gentle glow to the image, casting a soft light on the faces of those present. The men's expressions are serene, their eyes fixed on the child, as if in awe of his innocence and charm. The photograph is part of the Boswell collection, which documents a tour of China during the early 1900s. The collection provides a unique insight into the lives of the Chinese people during this period, offering a glimpse into their culture and daily life. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of China, a country that has long fascinated travelers from around the world. It invites us to reflect on the connections and interactions that have shaped the global community, as well as the enduring allure of exploring new places and cultures.
