EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic British naval port of Wei-hai-Wei in North China during the 19th century. The image showcases the town's impressive wall, which served as a protective barrier for this strategic location. In the foreground, we see members of the first Chinese regiment standing alongside British infantry soldiers, symbolizing their alliance. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson in 1896. This publication aimed to shed light on China's current state while also highlighting concerns about its growing influence, referred to as "the yellow peril". Wei-hai-Wei played a crucial role in Britain's naval presence in Asia during this period. It served as an important base for European powers seeking control over trade routes and exerting their influence across the region. The image offers a glimpse into history, showcasing not only military structures but also capturing moments that reflect cultural exchange between British and Chinese forces stationed at Wei-hai-Wei. It serves as a reminder of how global powers sought dominance through colonization and control over distant lands. This photograph provides valuable insights into an era marked by geopolitical tensions, illustrating both cooperation and conflict between nations striving for supremacy on foreign shores.
