EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a quaint corner in the bustling Chinese city of Shanghai, known as the key to Central China. Taken by an European photographer in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph was featured as an illustration for "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson and published around 1896. The picture showcases a glimpse into the historical charm of Shanghai during that era. With its narrow streets and traditional architecture, this corner exudes a sense of tranquility amidst the vibrant city life. It offers viewers a window into what life might have been like for locals during that time. Shanghai has always held great significance as one of China's major cities, serving as a gateway to Central China. This image serves as a reminder of its importance both historically and culturally. The term "Yellow Peril" mentioned in the caption refers to fears prevalent at that time regarding Asian immigration and influence on Western societies. It reflects some of the anxieties surrounding cultural clashes between East and West during this period. Overall, this photograph provides us with an intriguing glimpse into Shanghai's past while also shedding light on broader historical themes related to Asia's place in global affairs during the late 19th century.
