EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant streets of Hong Kong in the late 19th century. Taken around 1897, it captures a scene filled with youthful energy and joy. Along the bustling wharf, children can be seen swimming and playing freely in the sparkling waters of this historic Chinese city. The image showcases a snapshot of everyday life during the Qing Dynasty era, where leisure activities were enjoyed by both boys and girls alike. The children's carefree laughter echoes through time as they splash about in their natural playground. A young boy confidently balances himself on a boat nearby, while a group of girls gracefully navigate the water with ease. The photograph beautifully captures not only their playful spirit but also provides glimpses into Hong Kong's waterfront landscape at that time. With sail masts towering above them and baskets scattered along the wharf, this image is rich in historical context. As we gaze upon this stereograph from over a century ago, we are reminded of how much has changed yet how some things remain timeless – like childhood innocence and the universal love for recreation. This remarkable piece serves as an invaluable window into China's past, inviting us to reflect on our shared human experiences across generations.
