EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Beijing 2 (Liebig): Pedestrians and Carts Fill the Streets Beneath the Triumphal Arch Erected Between the Chinese and Tartar Districts of the City," transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Beijing, China, in 1901. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of the city during the early 20th century. The photograph showcases the triumphal arch, a grand structure that once stood as a symbol of the boundary between the Chinese and Tartar (Mongol) districts of the city. The arch, adorned with intricate decorative elements and triumphal motifs, towers above the crowded streets below. The archway serves as a backdrop to the lively scene unfolding before it, where pedestrians and carts fill the narrow streets, weaving in and out of each other in a seemingly chaotic yet harmonious dance. The Chinese district, characterized by its traditional architecture, is visible on the left side of the photograph, with the Tartar district, marked by its distinctive Mongolian tents and structures, on the right. The juxtaposition of these two distinct cultural areas highlights the diverse and multifaceted nature of Beijing during this period. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the city's residents, with people of all ages and walks of life going about their business. The carts, laden with various goods, attest to the city's thriving commercial activity. The photograph serves as a testament to the vibrant and dynamic history of Beijing, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
