EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history - the cholera outbreak in Manchuria in 1911. As the deadly disease rages through the region, desperate refugees seek to enter China for safety and refuge. However, standing tall as a formidable barrier is the iconic Great Wall of China, serving as a symbol of protection and defense against the spread of cholera.
The image not only highlights the historical events unfolding during that time but also showcases the strategic importance of the Great Wall in preventing further devastation from reaching Chinese territories. It serves as a poignant reminder of how borders and barriers can play a crucial role in times of crisis, safeguarding populations from external threats.
Through this photograph, we are transported back to a tumultuous period where lives were at stake, and survival was uncertain. The juxtaposition of human desperation against an ancient architectural marvel evokes a sense of resilience and determination amidst adversity.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this momentous scene with striking clarity and depth, allowing us to reflect on the significance of historical events such as these. It serves as a visual testament to our shared past and reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by those who faced challenges head-on.
