EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "European Civilization in China, an Episode from the Life of a Garrison in Beijing" captures a powerful moment in history. The image depicts a scene of intense violence and struggle on the streets of Peking (now Beijing), showcasing the clash between European soldiers and Chinese civilians. In this chaotic battle scene, uniformed sailors and soldiers from various European colonies are seen fighting against local Chinese residents. Armed with sticks and branches torn from nearby trees, both sides engage in a fierce confrontation. The tension is palpable as signs of resistance and defiance fill the air. The artist Achille Beltrame skillfully portrays this historical event with great detail and precision. Through his vivid illustration, he highlights not only the physical conflict but also the underlying cultural clash between East and West. This artwork serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that existed during this period when Western powers sought to exert their influence over China's imperial rule. It speaks to themes of imperialism, colonialism, power struggles, and resistance. As we gaze upon this striking lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness an important episode that shaped both European civilization in China and Chinese history itself.
