EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the harsh realities of life in early 20th century China, this powerful print titled 'China: Street Scene, 1902' transports us to a bustling street in Peking. In this poignant image, we witness an act of both cruelty and cooperation as a poor pony is being unharnessed from a heavy cart after collapsing from exhaustion. The scene unfolds on a dirt road lined with mud and cloth awnings that provide some respite from the scorching sun. Men and women from the working class gather around, their faces etched with concern and empathy for the suffering animal. The worn-out harness hangs loosely as they work together to free the pony from its burden. This stereograph serves as a stark reminder of the hardships endured by both humans and animals during this era. It offers glimpses into daily life in Qing Dynasty China, where transportation relied heavily on manual labor and primitive carts like these were common sights. As we reflect upon this photograph's historical significance, let it serve as a testament to resilience amidst adversity. May it inspire us to appreciate our progress while recognizing that compassion towards all living beings remains essential in shaping a more humane world.
