EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a Chinese fishing village near Monterey, California. The engraving, based on a drawing by Maillart, was featured in "Le Tour du Monde, Nouveau journal des Voyages" edited by Edouard Charton in Paris in 1876. In this scene of daily life, we witness the resilience and resourcefulness of the Asian community living amidst hardship. Poverty is evident as families go about their homemade activities on the streets. The image reflects both the struggles faced by immigrants during that time and their determination to build a better life for themselves. The composition highlights the unity within these humble dwellings as families gather together despite their pauper circumstances. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who sought refuge and opportunity in America. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography captures not only the physical surroundings but also conveys an emotional depth that resonates with viewers today. This historical snapshot provides insight into an important chapter of American history - one marked by immigration and cultural diversity. As we gaze upon this powerful image from our private collection, let us reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done towards achieving equality and understanding among all people.
